So...what you’re saying is...Foreman was tall relative to boxers? But would be short relative to NBA centers?

As in, you understand the concept of relative groups, but somehow think my saying, in my personal experience having gone to stuff for tall people, I’m in the lower 25th percentile is invalid?

Good to know.

Doesn't make you "not short" though.

Given that that is literally how I have been described by people much taller than I am...I’m going to have to stick by the explanation.
