Sorry, I wasn't complaining about your post specifically, just a general tenor that kind of shits on this work because of an unsolvable problem: as you say there's actually no comprehensive dataset that would make it possible.

Your original comment was valid and insightful. I replied to it because it triggered a lot of secondary criticism about sample bias, and those are the comments I was most trying to respond to.

Ah I see, thanks for the clarification. It's a fair defense, this is still definitely an awesome project!
