"average person steals 3 buttons a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person steals 0 buttons per year. Button-eater Ben, who lives in data server & steals over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Ah, "average", you imprecise term trying to be a proper measure of cenral tendency; give me "mean", "median", or "mode". Lies, damn lies, statistics, and ambiguous terminology.
