[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I'm always suspicious of people who speak as if their opinion is the absolute truth.   It's one thing to have a view and believe that you're right, but once you start stating things like "the reality is" or "every situation results in X," that tells me taht the person lives in their own little bubble and their opinion should be disregarded.

Funny, I usually feel the same way about people who disregard math.[/quote]

Oh that's right, I forgot that social science is math based.  Silly me. [/quote]

Bit more concrete than, " I've experienced this, and from what I've seen that"[/quote]

Yes, definitely.  Whenever you draw a conclusion based on what you've seen from a limited and distinct data set, the conclusion you draw is always absolute truth that can be applied to all similar situations.  There is never any room for interpretation when we're talking about sociogical data.  I mean, all human beings behave exactly the same way given the same or similar set of circumstances, right?

Right. Or you could look at the test scores for you local title one schools and compare them to the test scores of the more advantaged schools nearby and and see an easily interpreted trend. And then you could continue to see that trend repeated over and over all across the nation for the last several decades.
