You automatically jump to the conclusion that a dominance in a statistic means
higher importance.
There are far more people who are in the "average" range of intelligence than
there are who have an IQ over 140. Are the people with higher IQs less
important?
In an average audience of 100, I usually found that roughly 3 people had had
their house broken into. Since breakins are so rare, does this mean that
locking your door really isn't necessary? (The other side of that question is
that burglars seem to be able to get into a house if they wish, and does this
mean that locking your door really isn't effective?)
The nature of statistical analysis inherently constraints their actual meaning.
Let's be careful not to go outside those constraints.
