Why is your anecdotal knowledge of the handful of fathers you know and how they behaved in the delivery room more valid or accurate than the repeated daily observations of someone who works in labor and delivery on a daily basis, seeing multiple patients a day, presumably for years?
Because I've also spent years working in hospitals and have my own contradictory anecdotal evidence.
Now you have to decide...are you just going to pick the version that confirms your pre-existing bias - in which case this is all in bad faith - or perhaps actually ignore all anecdotal stories and assume there is some sort of availability bias at play across all parties?
I ran a diabetes clinic, meaning i hired that same health staff.
And you know what, there are a shitload of nurses who are anti-vaxxers. So again, you want to just believe the ones who conform to your bias? or maybe actually look at real data?
