I dont hold policies in any high regard because all of them are shit

Good, so we both agree on that

I hold statistics to high regard

But

And here's the but

Do you agree we have to play the game of politics because we can't escape it?

Yes

Good, then lets play it

But that does not stop a better study from being conducted

I agree, but we should still use the past research on this

Of course

This is not misleading people

This is showing them the truth

I guess I might have used a stronger word than was necessary.

Well I mean

The complete opposite of the truth, that's pretty strong

Well truth is in the eye of the beholder

There's one singular objective truth, but there are many ways to make improvements in the world

And I don't care about migrants being stopped at the borders

They can fuck off for all I care if they mess up my country

I not quite sure how this is related to our argument.

The point is

We do not need to be perfect truthbringers, we only need to be better people

Don't demand perfection from yourself in a world where we're not even halfway close to it

ahh you see the path to ultimate truth is a noble one.

Look, you can strive for perfect information, I don't. Because it's a hindrance in this reality.

Not that there is an end to the path.

I do not mislead people by showing them the truth with imperfect numbers, as long as the numbers are strong enough to still prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that my argument is true

Perhaps. But wouldn't it be better if it was closer to perfect numbers?

Perfection is a destroyer, it kills progress

Depends on what type of perfection.

The more you strive for perfection, the less progress you make, it's analysis paralysis

We already agree that the study could be better right?

Yes, and when I say "could" then I mean it's realistic

Doable, not just possible

But we can still use those existing numbers

And we should in my opinion

Of course

I do as well

Well then we don't seem to disagree on anything after all

correct
