Lots of people don't know their birthday, or if they do, it was written down as 1st Jan (or another memorable date), because their parents/carer didn't know when they came to register them, if they ever registered them. There will be bias towards those memorable dates.
- brownbat 13y ago> Lots of people don't know... We can go farther. People in a coma or with certain mental impairments will fall out of the system, if knowledge of any given fact is a hard requirement. The only way this even makes sense as a thought experiment is if you have some magic biographical oracle that helps you answer the questions.
- xauronx 13y ago"Lots of people don't know their birthday" Really? I've never met a single person who didn't. I guess "lots" in the terms of thousands could be plausible, vs "lots" in the terms of "a high percentage".
