    I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.

    What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won’t mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.

    I find it more likely that if big breasts become “easy” to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.

    If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.

    That’s not really my point.

    You can’t cancel out bad things with good things.

    That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.

    If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.

    Not necessarily. If you average everything, that hides any outliers.

    The bigger the sample size for your stats, the less it tells you. You could have an entire country’s worth of people in China, living in conditions that lead to horrible stats, and have that essentially disappear in the stats of the whole country.

    You should break stats down into smaller chunks. But not just arbitrarily. Do it by province, city, district. That’s how you find the problem areas. The bigger the area you measure, the less the stats tell you about the individual citizens.

    Well yeah.

    You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.

    As for China, their population is so large that almost any bad stat looks small. Zoom in on someplace like Hong Kong, and the stats go right back to concerning.
