I have rescinded my Thanks given to the TOTALLY FAKE LINEUP in the OP.
I would like to let the Commissioner's Office know that I am participating in tonight's gamethread, but under protest.
I don't view being pedantic as a negative. I am not knowledgeable enough in this area to come close to that characteristic so when others demonstrate these qualities it gives me an opportunity to learn.
Back to your point - I don't see how ascertainment is more applicable to this scenario than confirmation. Please explain.
Ascertainment bias arises due to flaws in data collection.
Confirmation bias arises because the person interpreting the data has a tendency to emphasize those data points that confirm his or her beliefs.
In looking at your initial statement more carefully, perhaps I was mistaken and confirmation bias might be the right term.
That was low key brilliant.
Braves can't lose tonight.
