Message: <blockquote data-quote="clearstream" data-source="post: 7525824" data-attributes="member: 71699">Concretely, we have a hypothesis that is something like "earlier encounters will - through depletion of resources - significantly affect the chance of death in later". Entailed is a confound that could require more complex analysis. Then there is a counter-hypothesis that is something like "resources aren't significantly correlated with lethality, because other factors have an overwhelming role in character death". Mitigating the confound.The poll here doesn't do a good job of addressing such hypotheses. The counter-hypothesis does not pivot on the length of adventuring days, and if it did then this thread is not the sole or best source of evidence on that factor. There's been extensive back and forth in other threads.</blockquote>
