Bless your heart. Have a great day.

blip on one curve is a spike

Non Sequitur, the rise over the run is related to slope. Normal curves are evaluated based on the area under the curve.

So we are to ignore your conflating multifactorial human nature with human nature as an indefinable something that is a discrete unit that can be measured?

Am I mistaken, or aren’t YOU the guy that officiously introduced the “mystery curve” with undefined axes and units of measure? Now you want to say the values are “indefinable,” but you’re not dodging, avoiding, or dissimulating.

Further, your assumption of my ignorance keeps causing you to miss the point. Unfortunately, those assumption seem to be pretty consistent with those of an elementary student insisting you can’t have equations with “letters” in them. You may know the basics, you just don’t know how they’re used.

Finally, I have to conclude from your irrelevant hypothetical that you’re perfectly comfortable writing legislation and policy with statistical outliers as your rule for behavior.

Now THAT is asinine.

So I’ll ask yet again. If you acknowledge there is a real thing called “human nature,” by what unfalsifiable knowledge of that nature can you claim to know it effects in men and women are roughly equal in magnitude and intensity, particularly when empirical knowledge flies in the face of such a proposition?
