Statistics are flawed because they ignore actual distribution (the chicken math analogy)

It's like if you and me went for a picnic. We take a chicken and I eat all of it and you have none. But statistically, you have eaten half of the chicken. This is why I don't look at statistics... you can't really do the stats when you don't know who actually ate the chicken.

The logic of the analogy is a standard critique of the arithmetic mean in statistics, which ignores variance.

Jesus only had twelve real followers and none of them were fake

Just want a PSA out there for everybody. Jesus only had 12 followers. None of them fake. No, they were all real.

Fact ClaimLifeHotSarcastic
Historically and biblically, Jesus had 12 apostles/disciples, but the 'fake follower' metrics of the 1st century are hard to verify.
