Obviously even 1 extreme outlier can skew things, but that’s not the case here.
In the terms of your analogy, this is about 3 people out of 20 pedaling a (weirdly long) bike and steered by all of them (somehow). Would you say that group of 3 are driving? Or would you concede it’s the two groups of 6 that are mostly driving the bike?
What happens when those three pedal the other direction?
It’s stats, it’s a descriptive term. It just literally doesn’t mean what you’re saying it means.
A driver in stats is just an item or a group that has a significant impact on the final result. What that means is going to vary from study to study.
Anyway, you can hold on to your belief about what a driver is, you are factually incorrect, and you were also kind of an asshole to the other guy. I’m out.
Your numbers are all over the place and don’t really make sense for what you’re talking about. 3 plus two groups of 6 would only be 15 out of 20, so where did the other 5 people go?
But more to the point, if those 3 stop pedaling, or pedal harder than everyone else combined, or apply the brakes, or tip the bike over, any number of other things they could absolutely change the speed/direction of the bike.
Feel free to stop responding to my discussion with someone else with your asinine “contributions”. They serve no purpose but to derail the conversation with your brash lack of understanding.
