often times its not so simple as 99 to 1. People are prone to taking a 60-40 ratio and exaggerating it to 99-1 just to be able to stop thinking because it becomes "functionally true".

Similarly, people are often too dumb comprehend a third value or a subset. For example, if 99% of X are also Y, they automatically assume 99% of Y are therefore also X, when in reality X only makes up 5% of Y, and the 95% of Y that are not X are instead Z.

This is why I don't subscribe to collectivist solutions. Outcomes are more accurately predicted when the work is done to evaluate people on an individual basis.
