Claim 21dd5f50
Not RatedValue judgement
Not assessed for accuracy.
“Some people who go through that lifestyle are desperately unlucky.”
The claim evaluates some people’s experience as 'desperately unlucky,' which is a value-laden assessment of fortune rather than a determinate worldly fact or causal relation. It is therefore stored as an evaluative judgement, not something to be directly assessed as true or false in the same way as a factual claim.
Reasoning & Evidence
Not assessed for accuracy — categorized as a value judgement or prediction.
From article
I didn’t say that in the book, no.
Listen, drink is an extraordinary thing. It’s very, very deeply embedded within our culture, and when I left school and went into the City – well, everything revolved around it. I’m very honest about the culture. You know, looking back on it now, many people would be repelled by it. And some people who go through that lifestyle are lucky and some are desperately unlucky, and you never know which you’re going to be. Lots of people who were my drinking mates in the City have been through the most disastrous downward spirals, and a lot of them are dead. A lot of them are dead. I lived through all of that and I’m very candid: I say I am lucky. I am lucky.
