and what pray tell is this mysterious “law of large numbers” you keep referring to? Is that anything like the 50 mile rule? That someone who has to move more than 50 miles for a job is better than the one right across the lane? Those are just words to say to make it sound like you know what you are talking about

It’s tough dealing with low vocabularies....but consider the more simple terms “in general” or “typically” instead of law of large numbers, if that helps you keep up to speed. GENERALLY someone who stayed busy is more productive than someone who did not. TYPICALLY a go getter will figure out something to do in his spare time while others may not.

All of these play into a universe where there are rules, and exceptions, but the AVERAGE, or the TYPICAL, or the GENERAL THEME will be shown, and can be shown, in any survey of large numbers.

To apply a generality is often wise, and NEVER personal. You have chosen to perosnalize it, and you will never rectify the two.
