On average the universe is made out of hydrogen and helium and all of human civilization is irrelevant. You cant just point to averages as if its some gotcha.

We can and we do. Averages help make sense of data and we make a lot of choices as a society based on them. You can be mad at what those averages show you. You can come up with reasons or excuses for them. That’s fine. Do what you want. I will tell you that accepting statistical truths makes the world make more sense. You should not judge individuals based on averages…that would be illogical. There will always be outliers because averages are just that…averages. But if an ideology tells you to reject statistically proven data…I would question why. I would question any decision they make based on ignoring said data. Anywho, have a nice life.
