Until I can verify how it was done, I will retract and concede.

Quantitatively, sure, but I think you can maintain the position qualitatively: “it’s a very small subset of the total male population regardless of the specifics of precisely how small it is.”

Yes, BUT I did not say that. I specifically compared to 4 leaf clover odds, which are roughly 1 in 5000, and Bennett's point is that this may not be justified - even if, seemingly-paradoxically, I am correct. As it so happens I found the site:https://igotstandardsbro.com/stats

And here: "The final percentage is not far from reality but it's not entirely accurate because it doesn't take into account the correlations between income and height or weight." We see that Bennett is right. The stats used on the site didn't take into account correlation.

Let me say it another way: if Morlock or Bennett had made the original comparison then I would expect there to be numbers backing up the similarity of comparative rarity. I do not expect statistical rigor from you.

That's EXACTLY the problem. You should. And I should apply it. Rhetoric is fine and good, BUT it should always be backed up by dialectic.

No, I shouldn’t. Statistical rigor has its place. It’s not the sole source or definition of fact. Directional correctness is good enough in most cases.
