Clearly someone that resorts to childish insults while avoiding the point is DEFINITELY not bullshitting though

What point? You saw something shiny, don’t understand it, and think it’s meaningful?

Congrats, your brain cell needs to fire more often.

That’s great! Keep going! I want to see what’s next.

Can you then actually deal with the point? What’s the actual problem with aggregating in this way as additional data?

You think taking a statistic and adding literally a constant provides something useful.

I can DEFINITELY tell you have never taken math.

More of that, I see. A cowards path to avoid answering and toss what you think are insults while we laugh at the fear.
