Things can change in a heartbeat and even if they don't, statistics can be subjected to p-hacking. I think it's pretty short-sighted to only use certain types of justifications and logic when they uphold things you already support. We need to consider whether or not we're crafting a weapon for the other side to use against us. It builds this philosophy of economic sensibility being equivalent to moral superiority, which we both know is untrue as all ****.
