I feel like this should be a banner on every comment page: your anecdotal experience is completely irrelevant when discussing something on a country-wide scale. What you personally choose to do has no bearing on the conversation.

I wouldn't say it's irrelevant, as they're directly related to the OP and are in some cases interesting.

You could certainly say that it's "not conclusive proof" of anything. However, this isn't a crowdsourced thesis paper. It's a web forum discussion thread, about a topic with only a thin tangential connection to the forum's main subject matter (i.e. technology and tech entrepreneurship).

Would you please edit-out name calling and flamebait before posting to Hacker News, like the guidelines ask? Sometimes that means not posting at all.
