There was one of those "enlightened atheist" type guys on this forum a while back (he may be still here idk) and there was this long thread where people were trying to explain to him what per capita meant and he just didn't get it.
And if there's people like that on an alt tech forum that probably skews a little higher than average IQ then I bet a lot of people you're talking to don't get it either.
There was some debate, years ago, with Lauren Chen (IIRC) and some others. One of the topics of discussion was rape statistics. Lauren was arguing that white men in the US aren't more likely to rape than men of other races.
Someone "fact checks" her to state that something like "52% of all rape is committed by white men" -- to cheers of the numerically illiterate audience.
You can't debate these idiots because they don't know what they don't know.
bluestorm claimed he was friends with that guy but I think they might be the same person.
Are you Heinlein fan?
That thread was crazy. It was the first time I ran into this "me no understand per capita" issue, and I was dead sure the guy was trolling.
It was kinda scary when he eventually admitted that he had misunderstood what per capita meant.
