Well technically... A typical member might not be what you care about. You might want "most" people to meet a certain threshold, which might put you around the first quartile. Median alone does not describe the whole distribution, but it does a good job for a distribution with a lower bound.

Wait, don't medians like literally reflect populations? Like ooooo | ooooo ^ median ?

youdians, maybe. medians, definitely not

They should just pick an official median person and ask them all the questions people want to know about people.

People always asking the important questions: how can I understand something while looking at the fewest possible numbers?

i simply do not believe that the mean bluesky user is sophisticated enough to debate which moments of an unknown probability distribution best describe certain things about that distribution

Oh I forgot about burrito taxi! And "are LLMs bad"
