Stop trying to cling to a defined number. I've told you numerous times I gave you a arbitrary small number as an example. It makes you look stupider than you already are that you keep attempting to quote something that wasn't said.
Autism is tragic because it happens to children, so we acknowledge it, but it is still an anomaly. We are in no fear of an autism epidemic.
I don't care about a shooting inFlorida last night. A star died 15 galaxies away, you retard. It doesn't mean stars die on a regular basis.
Did you have a shooting on your street, in your neighborhood, your town, your state? No, I didnt think ao.
You still keep trying to ignore sample size. If something happens once daily in an infinite sample size, it's an anomaly. Apparently your concept of context is as weak as your math
I'll keep embarrassing/belittling you because it takes all of 10 seconds. You don't even believe what you are typing are this point
right, you gave me an arbitrary number rather than one that actually had any context to the conversation
that makes absolutely no sense
and in fact I can see no definition of an anomaly that applies any number. You're the one that introduced that and then you claim the number you offered was arbitray and oddly enough doesn't apply to ANY of the examples you chose to offer as an "anomaly" and thus by defintion unexpected
The CDC says that autism spectrum disorder is diagnosed in 1 out of 68 children
1/68 = .0147
By that standard we have lots of anomolies
Abortion is most certainly an anomaly
According to the National Cancer Insitute ~ 569k people in the US will die of cancer in 2016
596,000 / 320,000,000 = .001863
Wow - so dying of cancer is an anomaly too and so it goes for many other things that happen to small percentage of the population
Being a small percentage is not what's makes them an anomaly
The very defintion you offered doesn't even claim that a criteria much less the ONLY criteria
So you can go on being shocked when a mass shooting occurs, or when someone wins a lottery or when someone dies of cancer or has an abortion or an autistic kid and I'll continue to see these as common place events in this country
