That's just your personal assertion, which is entirely baseless and unsubstantiated. It's ok to have beliefs, but instead of pushing them as truths you should at least start by doing some cursory research to see if they are even plausible. And yours isn't.

It's not entirely unsubstantiated, as my experience is that the former is very common. The latter is much harder to observe though, so it's just an impression.

I'm very interested in your assertion that my impression is implausible though. What evidence do you have?
