Fully agree. I seriously don&#x27;t understand the statistical illiteracy[1] that drives people to take every instance of a (perceived) false positive or false negative as a sign of an entire system&#x27;s unsuitability. I guess a lot of people just have problems with the concept of a counterfactual. Note that this doesn&#x27;t apply to people&#x27;s reactions to their _own_ experiences, since it&#x27;s completely reasonable to have a bit of an emotional reaction to something like getting rejected.<p>[1] I couldn&#x27;t think of a better way to put this, but it&#x27;s not quite the right term, since you don&#x27;t need any education in statistics to understand how irrational these reactions are.
