    Everyone is unique, even if average. They 100% can fingerprint anyone.

      Especially once you interact with a site. Who types, clicks, or swipes just like you?

  Except there’s no average person, the average itself is a combination of people with the most diverse needs and constraints. It’s like the joke that the average human being has 1 breast and 1 testicle.

    Given... things, it's more like 1.9 breasts and testicles. I was talking with someone who just couldn't get why though.
