Daniel Hruschka — You Can't Characterize Human Nature If Studies Overlook 85 Percent Of People On Earth


Non-random sampling.
… a nonrandom sample tells us about a population, but we don’t know how precisely: we can’t determine a margin of error or a confidence level.
A lot of mistakes occur from generalizing special cases. This tendency to overgeneralize, along with the tendency to absolutize, often infects formulation of assumptions in "scientific" modeling.
