  • It only ‘matters’ to the extent that OP claimed it doesn’t run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does ‘because’ you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I’m saying it’s that anecdotal evidence doesn’t refute an assertion like that.

    If you’d said ‘it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z’ i wouldn’t be arguing, I’d likely be reading an article about it. But it’s worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.




















  • Not sure how you came to that conclusion… If she donated the car and it was then sold, it’s the same but distancing herself from the sale while also potentially raising even more awareness at the charity and advertising a ‘discarded’ car vs a sale and donation of funds.

    I would say the bigger takeaway is that reducing supply by one car can be more than made up for by raising awareness and this potentially reducing demand. At least she accomplished part of this by the announcement, even if it could technical raise demand by those that would react out of spite.
