I usually like Mr.平凡往事's articles. They are friendly, vivid and full of fun in life.
Just read his article "通過在美國做手術的經歷,感慨中國醫生無德。" and made a-few-line comments saying I won't dispute his conclusion, but feeling he didn't know the medical/insurance system in this country well enough; saying I won't prefer to derive such a big conclusion based on one small case rather than statistics. I wrote "Would I conclude that your logic used here is a typical Chinese logic/methodology? I won't, because this is only your individual methodology rather than the Chinese ethnic group's - Greetings!".
Minutes later, I went back to to check his response. Ah Ha! It was deleted!!
Can I still say that using statistics to get conclusions rather than deriving big conclusions from one case would be much more convincible?
(I'll write it in Chinese when I'm able to.)
以上是今天上班時發生的事情。那時寫不了中文,只好用蚯蚓字代替啦,抱歉~
下面是我的中文意思:
「我平時還是比較喜歡平凡先生的文章的。它們大部分友好,生動,充滿生活樂趣。
剛讀到他的「通過在美國做手術的經歷,感慨中國醫生無德」的帖子,回了一個有數行意見的帖,說我不是否認他的結論,但感覺他對美國的醫療/保險制度並不十分了解。我說我不會從這麼一個小病例引申出那麼大一個結論來,我會用統計數字來說話。我寫道「我可以用你在這裡的邏輯說明這就是典型的中國人的邏輯和方法嗎?我不會,因為這僅僅是你的方法而已,它不代表華裔族群的邏輯方法論。 —— 問候!」
幾分鐘后,我想來看看平凡先生他的反應。啊哈!那幾行字被刪除了!!
我可否仍然說:使用統計數字而不是從一個案例中去派生大的結論會有說服力得多呢?
