I'm fucking reeling at the idea that stats that are affected by the region that houses (checks notes) approximately a quarter of the world's entire human population are somehow invalid? Incorrect? Artificially skewed?

That's like saying you've got a 1/5 chance of rolling a six on a standard die, because, well, you don't like rolling a one so obviously you discount rolls that land on a one.

#statistics #what an absolutely inane take #girl if you're looking at stuff on a global scale you can't just exclude distinct groups #they're not ''skewing what would otherwise be normally distributed results''#that's not how any of this works #they're just there man #to be fair tumblr user ''unpopularly-opinionated'' you sure are nailing the URL there #I want to be generous but I'm struggling to see any other way to read that tbh
