Nice piece, as always, Sam! πŸ’ͺOn "The Desire to Prioritise Statistics with Stories", I also had to think of an opposite situation where the statistic says a negative statistic about shark attacks, but most people only have friends have never been attacked by a shark, despite spending lots of time in the ocean... yet we believe the stat and not the story. It seems like there's another nuance here, about believing the thing that satisfies an agenda we have. Kinda like confirmation bias.
