(SOLVED) When should we ignore a feat?

I didn't make the time entire thread to read myself, but...


When should we ignore feats and not ignore them?

I personally think feats should never be ignored. Perhaps a feat could be false -- such as it taking place in someone's imagination, a noticeable outlier or plot-induced stupidity, then it can be discarded but it's different than ignoring it because you analysed it if it's legit or not; ignoring simply means disregarding it and not dealing with it at all.

Also, that Surfbone guy took Damage's comment out of context; I even came to watch a few of his videos once a few times before -- I can prolongedly rant about the many issues I found with his arguments but I'd rather not do it here.

What did damage actually mean then? If I didn't make myself clear, I didn't read the entire thread he showed myself

It shouldn't be excluded unless it's strongly contradicted. The entire outlier idea on forums is a disaster for several reasons.

Firstly the way it's applied is entirely subjective and really only serves to allow for biased people to choose which feats they want to accept. Thankfully that is generally not done here because the staff are generally better than that.

Secondly it's based on real life statistics where outliers are occasionally excluded, but there's been a huge detail missed. Outlier results are only supposed to be excluded if they were the result of an error. Removing them simply because you don't like them or they're different is considered to be corrupting or censoring the data. Originally I think the outlier thing was done by forums to allow for biased stats and then was never changed later.

I mean, everyone is technically biased on some level, but debate should negate some of it.

Thank you for the reply!
