I am not sure why it is thought-provoking for a website to lie to you? There is plenty of real history and demography to read about.

That is exactly what is thought provoking. Usually we only learn glimpses of history, not a full distribution about it.

For example my draw died as a newborn (allegedly 50% died before 5), which made me think how many humans never really got to experience life.

    Yeah I think this is it. I played a few times and at one point I was a woman and the average number of children women had was 6 or 7 primarily because most children died pretty early at that time.

    Was the story or stats true? I dunno. But it makes sense, and I poked around some of the sources and it was just fun to play with.
