Statistically the average does NOT always mean healthy or normal in qualitative terms.

But you didn't say average. You said 85-90%, which is the vast majority. If the vast majority of a thing has a particular characteristic, then that it what is "normal".

See normal vs. homosexual for further information.

You are hereby double debunked. Back to the drawing board, professor. :)

Victory. Back on topic.

You're not tracking sufficiently bags.

Normal has two meanings in this area:

Normal can = statistical average or above.

Normal can = average healthy, functioning, effective state of being--REGARDLESS of the statistical frequency in a given population of that healthy, functioning state.

CONFLATING the two definitions is not good science; not good language and not a good argument.

BTW:

The percentage of chaff or deliberately sabotaging contrarian posts on this thread is still far above an acceptable level, to me. i.e., they win--I'm not willing to devote the time to it given their effective sabotaging of the goal and efforts.

It is clear that it is too bothersome to ask the mods to help.

The only effective solution I can think of is to move the archive to my FREEPER homepage. Sigh. Hate to do that but am willing.

WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK?
