I mean, assuming your experiences are shared to some extent with everyone else's is a pretty human thing to do. It's also a particularly American thing to do, perhaps for cultural reasons.
My point is this isn't a hypothetical; you can walk around Tokyo at night and be fine.

You really have no idea what you are talking about, but don't let it stop you.

I think you're the one who has no idea what you are talking about and should just accept that you're wrong.
> I wouldn't recommend [wandering around like a clueless tourist, late at night] in any part of any city.
I have lived in Tokyo, NYC, San Francisco for at least 2 years each. Tokyo is a concrete and non-hypothetical counterexample to your proposition.
> We can always construct hypothetical situations that meet some criteria.
How is not recommending going to dangerous neighborhoods in America a hypothetical situation? There is statistical data and crime maps. You cannot deny that.

I don't know what I'm talking about in regard to my own experiece and thinking? Perhaps you can inform me.
Must we make up hypotheticals for my state of mind too? Perhaps stick to the facts and stay away from the person.
