are as ignorant as a YEC arguing against a biologist.
When science conflicts with fight club logic,  guess who wins?

A generalization goes on a distribution curve which already  accounts for outliers.  
A NAXALT argument is derailing & defensive.  Outliers don't disprove the existence of the observable /measurable.  
IF you don't understand this^^,  then a learning curve is to be anticipated.  

Successful generalizations afford reliable predictions which affords odds ratios/risk factors.  Generalizing is a science for a reason.
That generalizations get exploited is a social services issue and not an epidemiologist's problem.  

I can say atheists argue against doing the science we need to do for offering theists our finest.  The trend is so predictable,  I can put my money where my mouth is and bet on the manner of the next 20 atheists responding.  

That atheists don't see the absurdity of arguing against generalizing w/ an epidemiologist speaks volumes.
We are mirroring theist ignorance in nature/not details
PLEASE NOTE:  instead of noting irrelevant, off topic , dodging responses for what they are,  they will be ignored.

Could you be more specific, please
  On a sweeping level,  no.  Requests for clarification need to be specific.

RE: Atheists Who Argue Against Generalizing
I shot my mouth off to the polizei once, drunk and belligerent. Deserved every discreet punch to the gut. We all had a good laugh about it when they dumped me like a sack of potatoes at the cq post. On the bright side, I didn't have to pay for a cab and they prevented me from embarrassing myself further.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A sidereal day on Venus is equal to 243 Earth days. So, if your job gives you two weeks paid holiday a year, you should take it on Venus.
