I thought you were a programmer?

Well clearly you aren't very good at statistics in that case. Because 4chan, and /sci/ more so, isn't representative of the general population. In fact, the Internet itself would exclude certain groups. So you're sampling from a small number, of an unrepresentative group? How does that make any logical sense with the purview of your goal?
>I'm just using 4chan as a staging area because it is a better training ground than people in real life (who tend to run away when confronted with anything that doesn't match their world view).
Shouldn't a training ground be as close to a simulation of the task you're training for as possible? 4chan certainly isn't that.
>People here are more open minded to differing ideas because they don't have to conform to their internal social narrative
That's funny, because I'd talk to you (or anyone for that matter) in exactly the same tone, whether on 4chan or not.
