This is the kind of stupid that is basically impossible to fight. They know enough to THINK they understand the concept, but not enough to ACTUALLY understand it, and thus won't ever be able to see they're wrong.

Like, it takes 10 seconds of googling to find math lessons for 12 year olds that would tell this goof that the median in his example would be 20.

No, no, when you add 12 year olds the median becomes 37.

His argument is that he is talking about "the median of the dataset" which is one of those fancy ways of saying "no, see I was saying something else entirely that makes no sense, but allows me to not admit I'm foolish"

:psyduck: Like, I understand the phrase there, but like... that literally misses the point of using the median? You use the median or mode when the mean would be unnaturally skewed by a high top end or low bottom. (And you'd probably take the mode in his example, because, like a value that appears 300 times, and two others that only show up once?)

Sometimes Reddit is no better than WWE when it comes to dumb things. In regards to Kairi's tweet about spending time in the ER (due to Anaphylaxis) from a few months ago:

quote:

Kairi posts that picture of herself looking like she's about to loving die from anaphylactic shock, in a bed with tubes all hooked up. I mean she really looks like she is going to die. Would have been perfect for Shayna to claim that it was really a picture taken after she ran her out of NXT.

I mean on one hand its WWE, so it would be right up their alley to try and capitalize on it. On the other, I don't think Shayna would agree with the angle/pitch either considering she's really good friends with Kairi outside of the ring and really respects her.

Hrm...Sasha Bailey Becky and Charlotte are the best females on the main roster with Naomi Natalia Asuka and Sharai yeah I think that's it being the upper mid card everyone else is like B-tier or worse. (I didn't miss anyone right?)

I'd like to see what a women's only version of AEW would look like. 3-4 top drawing women plus a legacy talent in the Jericho spot.

Sadly you just don't hear about 1k+ shows where the main event is a women's match.

Beth or Gail, imo. They're the least shot and can still go at high levels. Probably leaning more towards Gail.

The issue with the women's division is that nobody's ever bothered to be booked to their strengths and all have the very basic-rear end WWE-style women's match that was a problem before Becky got white-hot. :shrug:

Sable was one of the biggest draws in the WWF for a short time, and a star close to the level of Austin.

No, see that stuff's all fine because people already did it when Cornette was a kid taking pictures. (Which is what this is really about. Their fake stuff is newer than his fake stuff so it's weird and confusing.)

I put 95% of Cena being booed due to having two finishers that looked awful that prevented anyone from popping.
