Likewise, people who say "you're generalizing" when talking about non-math ideas.

Pattern recognition seems like discrimination to idiots.

Scientists are particularly bad about this. Many of them seem to think that because a distribution overlaps somewhat, that two populations are identical.

Yeah, that’s not how it works. I know it’s a reaction to racist pseudoscience, but hating reality is not the way to go there. It’s bad science and just false. Overlapping distributions does not mean populations are identical.
