Well, it is hard data. It is data, however, that simply has nothing of explanatory power to say about hateful tweets and their geographic locations. A few posters here did not understand this and ran with it and their preconceptions. I simply explained this fact and corrected the misconceptions. You suggested that perhaps I had a preconception about the analysis. I believe that I have demonstrated that I do not.
Just because something is posted in the lounge doesn't mean that people will not take it seriously, particularly when it is an actual study.
