Presumably you can't make the statement that almost all companies are below average on human rights. Mathematically at least half have to be above average.

- ginko 10mo agoThat’d be the median, not the average.
- AceJohnny2 10mo agoTorturers Inc, that operates in $country_i_hate & tortures over 10,000 people each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
- bawolff 10mo agoFair point, although i would generally assume that ethical behaviour of companies is normally distributed.
- lotsofpulp 10mo agoMedian/mean/mode/geometric are all types of averages.
- tshaddox 10mo agoPresumably most people also wouldn’t be particularly concerned with what the average is. If all companies have human rights records ranging from bad to terrible, surely it’s no compliment to be above average.
