'overestimate' and 'underestimate' are also the ultimate weasel words, especially when it comes to statistical distribution.
If you think looks matter and personality is worthless(and, heh, newsflash, in alot of situation, that's spot fucking on!) and some social science soiboi comes up and goes 'well, um, ACKSHUALLY' and proceeds to spin out some bullshit of how 51% compared to 49% or some such nonsense is technically correct - but it's still a blatant lie, because we're talking social trends, not statistical.
And people wonder why we don't trust the 'experts' anymore.

Yeah, I was going to point that out.
...incels...overestimated physical attractiveness and finances, while underestimating kindness, humour and loyalty...
That is almost certainly a factual statement...yet also misleading. Incels do overestimate and underestimate those things, absolutely. The important question is, who is closer to the truth, incels or Experts? If it's not the Experts, their statements are meaningless lies. If incels (or any other group) are more correct than the Experts (usually the case nowadays), the Experts don't get to whine about the other group not being one hundred percent on the money.
