>"How often” as used in colloquial English is not measurable
So what "observe how often" means then in your colloquial English?
I legitimately asked about stats. On this forum I presume you know what it is, how it's different from anecdotes. And it makes your behavior look not particularly honest.
You could have sincerely answer: "I have no data, but I have a gut geeling/impression" - that would spare you from wiggling around, and claiming that English is not to express facts.
Let me be clear here then, “how often” for me is any time the law protects the rich at an extent that the rest of the citizenry do not get.
Did you ignore the links? The Johnson and Johnson heir is anecdata yea but the affluenza defense is an actual used in the court and accepted defense. I don’t need stats in this case when I can point to a single legal precedent
