"This won't work because people will react the way I think."
"No, it will work because people will react the way I think."
"You can't just assume everyone will think the same way as you. Here's some anecdata to prove everyone thinks the same way I do."
Please help me here, because I'm failing to see the difference. (Granted, I think in both cases it's not so much "everyone thinks the way I do" as it is "sufficiently many people think the same way I do", but all the same.)
