This argument is my pet pieve. Whether it's about companies, governments, statistics, public debate: when you're dealing with large numbers of users/clients/citizens, a percent is still going to be a giant number of people! New Yorks population is also under a percent of the US total but were not shutting down any service over it! Large groups have large numbers of outliers! We support the blind and people in wheelchairs not because they're numerous enough, but because we care about including them. This is statistical illiteracy that even smart people continuously use. It is absolutely wrong!
