I hate this line of reasoning in all facets of life. And it does seem to appear in all facets of life.
Nobody is average in every way. If we accept that it’s okay for every goddam thing to suit only the “average”, and to hell with everyone else, then nobody will happy in more than ~3-5 aspects of their life.
Yea. Why are there so many sizes of clothes anyway? The average person doesn’t need pants with a 44 inch waist. And so many food options? The average person doesn’t need anything more than nutrient rich gruel.
I assume that, for humans, the average number of legs must be a number below two since most people I know of have two, while some have one or none and only very few have three or more.
I wonder how those 1.something-legged pants would look on all the people with different amounts of legs than that average number. Luckily, it seems it’s currently more common for clothing designers to snap to the normal (as in common number) rather than design for the average number. I guess people with less than two, or with prosthetics, can use two-legged pants to some degree, but with more legs than average, it seems, you’ll still be in trouble at the mall – unless there’s a skilled tailor in there too!
