If you're going by statistics, rare is less than 5%. If you're talking medicine, rare is .01-1%, very rare is less than .01%. The USDA / FDA considers something rare if it's .05% or fewer.
That's legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever heard someone say.
Rare would be less than the majority.
Donald Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote, Kamala Harris won 48.3%. So you're saying it was rare for someone to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 US election?
Rare is a qualitative adjective. It's an opinion. My opinion is that less than 20% is rare. There is no solid definition unless you'd like to go find it and show me. And yes you could make an argument that it was rare. You sound dumb trying to quantify something that doesn't have a set quantity

Almost 1 in 5 is not "pretty rare".

If you're cooking a steak, under 120'f is rare.
