why have a confident opinion on an inherently statistical topic?
Because for Epiphany it’s not a statistical topic, it’s an issue of fairness and equality—she fights for Great Justice!
No doubt this, too, is an ad hominem, in some sense.
Arguments ad hominem are inappropriate for deciding the truth of the matter. They are entirely appropriate for deciding whether you want to take someone seriously or even just to talk to a person.
We are in agreement.
