The point is that an average isn’t indicative of overall health… it’s just a value representing the average income. It makes no bearing on actual economic health without comparing it to other factors.

Which part? Can you explain your reasoning in a way that’s not just “nuh-uh”?

As I understand it, an average is when you add together several quantities and then divide that total by the number of quantities. How does this in any way affect actual living wage (or grades, in my given example)?

Just because something is average doesn’t mean it’s good.

If the average grade of a class is fifty… that doesn’t mean it’s a good grade. It just means a majority of the class is failing.

Mythbusters did this one.

The answer is a lot more than any human has ever had.

When people realize you can do both.

That’s so fetch.

It’s not that he can’t be that, it’s that it makes him a tool.

They wouldn’t survive the sizzle either.

You realize there’s more to immigration than the border between Mexico and the US, right?

I know they ignore it, but you don’t have to follow along with them.

I guess nothing really helps, but at least you get these cool torches and bandanas when you riot!

But… why? They’re so boring, there hasn’t been much innovation in the genre in years.
