A thought experiment.

In context to what though?

If group A is talking about a scientific thing like vaccines or something that needs numbers and analytics and scientific evidence to back it up then yes. Group A. Group B talking about anecdotal evidence of refusing said treatment but then coming out would not be good enough evidence.

In the context of interpersonal relationships. It's probably better to go with Group B. Because relationships are wildly assorted. People are different. People may have similar stories to you. But something based upon feelings is usually met with feelings. Group A. Would make everything all or nothing. Black and white thinking. And there is no room for nuance. Which relationships are incredibly nuanced.

If you need to lie, exaggerate, etc, your point is dumb

This is basically just the "I have depicted you as the soyjack and myself as Chad therefore I have won this argument" meme with different wording

Group B has Opinion B (shocking i know) and there full believes build on Emotions, trust me Bros, subjective views, anecdotes and "everybody knows that"

This is not an honest depiction of BP arguments on this sub whatsoever. Yes there are BPers who argue based on vibes and personal anecdata but also ones who do present data that will promptly be dismissed as unreliable because people lie, liberal bias in academia, or any number of flaws that you can point to in research of any kind. There are non-BP users who lean so heavily on their own personal experience they call it "gaslighting" if others on the sub don't just shut up and treat their lived really as universal fact on a (checks notes) debate sub.

There is nothing more "trust me bro" and vibes than red pill. There is no scientific data supporting red pill.

Group A since it’s based in scientific data. Not sure what this has to do with gender dynamics.

You'd have to actually be specific, there are many circumstances where A and B could easily overlap.

IE, "Some bullshit, but also some scientific data" and "subjective views and anecdotes" could easily mean the same thing: observable data and the feelings that data evokes.

Ie: Both could apply in a situation where someone was hurt, and they went on to feel negatively towards the thing that hurt them.

Both involve a grounding in some reality, filtered through a biased and personal lens.

This is how most people parse reality; it's also how people end up in tribally opposed camps when there is no actual difference between the two.
