A type of bias where a person focuses on those who passed a selection process while ignoring those who did not.May [accidentally] be done by researches and news outlets while showing statistics,however,survivorship bias can be used to skewer results intentionally. A common example of survivorship bias is the story of when multiple researchers examined where planes who came back from WW1 were most damaged.The researchers found that the wings and the [back of the plane] were the most shot spots.They initially decided to reinforce the spots that were shot the most,however a researcher who was still thinking pointed out that the planes that came back only were shot in the wings and the [back of the plane],however those who did not return were shot in the spots that the planes that returned werent shot in.Therefore,the scientists ultimately decided to reinforce the places that returning planes werent shot in.
