Because if this: "adult siblings wishing to marry" happens, it likely means this: "siblings having sex" has already happened.
Despite that incisive observation, the categories are not the same.

The seven footer doesn't disprove the data that most white people can't play basketball as he's not most white people. He's anecdotal evidence, the existence of which does not disprove the data.
No f'n kidding. He doesn't have to disprove it. If he can dunk the ball, he can use the data for toilet paper, because the data is irrelevant. He'd be laughing all the way to the pros about the data. And it's only "anecdotal evidence" if it's hearsay. If he proves his ability, it's directly observed evidence.

Nearly every single relationship between siblings involves abuse and brainwashing.
Votre_Chef, all great points. Just to add - a union between siblings is guaranteed to produce genetically compromised offspring, which is precisely why it historically became a taboo.

Didn't say they were.

His existence does not mean the data is untrue. That's the point.
Even if I were to concede that it's within the realm of possibility that two siblings who in no way should be institutionalized and one did not abuse the other have decided of their own free will to get married (in spite of zero examples provided that these imaginary people even exist on a thread in which people are arguing in favor of their getting married) that would only mean they're one couple out of thousands of abusive ones. That in no way changes my position as I don't think (and I'm pretty sure I already said this) that the law should be changed to allow sibling marriage on the off-chance that one of the couples wishing to get married is not completely screwed up. A white guy that is good at basketball doesn't make a statement supported by data that says "most white people are bad at basketball" untrue any more than "it's cold outside right now" disproves "average temperatures on earth are increasing."
That's meaningless and a weak attempt to get around the simple fact that nearly every single time siblings have sex, one of them is the victim of abuse, something you can't say about gay or straight non-related couples. You fail.
Thirdly, what exactly is wrong with bestiality with adult animals once adult human beings are able to accurately communicate with these adult animals? After all, adult animals have sex with each other sometimes.
First, I recommend that you stop thinking about "two dudes going at it..." if you are so repulsed by the thought. Easy, right?
Second, if you want to marry your sibling, find an attorney to represent both of you and sue your state for the right to marry. That is, if it is against the law in your home state. Although. I'm pretty sure that there are not too many siblings that are scratching to get married. So, that makes me think this is a silly point.
Anyway, have a great night and good luck!!!
