23andMe confirms hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9 million users::Genetic testing company 23andMe revealed that its data breach was much worse than previously reported, hitting about half of its total customers.
Oh no, they know I’m 7.2% French.
You’re not. It’s all fake
Let me qualify for the less mentally gifted.
If I develop a hoodie color recognition software that perfectly detects colour, hack into all cameras, observe that black people like white, white people like red and asian people like green. I aggregate that info and sell to every mayor to see how diverse his city is in real time.
The scientific method is 100% correct, but it’s based on a dumb assumption.
Let’s say 23andme’s methods are correct.
Is there a pure frenchman? Jew? African? Or are we all mixed to some degree? If so, how can you identify what features match without being polluted?
Say they found “pure” people. 10th gen French. 0 other nationalities in family. Can you find 100? 1000? As many as it takes to be statistically significant?
Sort of, but it depends on the interpretation.
Is homeopathy real? Because that’s based on faulty science as well.
You realise your point is confusing. Because despite it being bullshit, people believe in it enough that there are some governments that even fund that crap. Hence it is real enough.
You just described religion. Get back to me when you wanna talk science.
