If you had a better understanding of math and science, you'd know the difference between the concepts of "one" and "statistically meaningful".

It’s worth pointing out one contradiction to someone who passes such vast and foolish judgement.
It really isn't.
Obviously, "who becomes a journalist in this age" does not translate to "every person who is alive now who has ever been a journalist".
I'm not sure if your error lies in parsing colloquial English, or in basic statistics. Either way, I think you have fully illustrated the commenter's point.
Journalists are not reliably selected for, or demonstrative of, comprehension or accuracy.
This is dumb trying to call others dumb. This argument is not just inhumane it’s also wrong. The average of something assumed does not negate a real data point. If you did even bit of data science you’d know that. But just another HNer calling someone dumb while confidently wrong. And ironic calling others dumb because of it. So think on that.
Maybe Christmas just leaves the worst on HN … statistically.
