Subject: RE: BS: Ridiculous statistics
The value of knowing the "average," however, is still open to serious question. If his 25,000 receipts show that, by habit, he really did eat, literally, two a day, then that documentation would substantiate the claim without recourse to "statistics."

Also, proof that he bought that number of Big Macs is not proof that he consumed them.
