> 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.

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.
