Im very sorry, but I cannot in any sane logical line of reasoning think as to why people would say 1/3 Americans live in New York, even if they just blurted out a random number

Stupidity?

If you're already stupid and you get asked the question, and then don't even bother to give it due consideration, it's entirely plausible you just blurt out a number.

It does also say these are averages so it'd be interesting to see a scatter plot of all respondents.

Stupidity?

That is what I was getting, yes

Ah, I guess I was thrown by this since it didn't require insanity or illogical reasoning to come up with "stupidity".

Yes, however as you were implying that a more reasonable explanation lied in the responder's laziness, I was also implying that any reason other than stupidity was requiring of some mental gymnastics

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
