that would still be equally idiotic as there's no rational reason to believe that porn = criminals, anymore than it's rational to believe that catholic priest = child molester. admittedly it may be easy to associate one with the other but it doesn't actually tell you anything useful.sketerpot wrote:If they were doing this properly and figuring out the chances that people have certain types of porn given that they are criminals or noncriminals (or a better choice would probably be violent or non-violent criminals), they might get some statistics that could be useful in Bayesian inference as one of many statistical factors considered.
There's precious little chance of something like that ever happening, though. Chances are they'll just say that porn is evil while using this as an excuse to look at porn.
