Pareto principle, 80% of the effect is determined by 20% of the variables. To get "all of the data" on an open ended question would be fruitless, but you can be reasonably sure of a theory the more evidence corroborates it. Nothing can ever truly be known in a Platonic sense, but the basis of science is in "most likely"s.

Same thing here. Now you have some “principle” to back you up claiming you can get “ enough”.

Like ok. So when they scan you for that rare space disease that causes people to literally blow up, you’d be fine with them ending the scan at 90% right? Right?

There is no data that isn’t valuable and can sway the ultimate conclusion. None. Only humans have the audacity to think they can cherry pick which lol.

Bro. Take a hard look at yourself.
