Let's see ... how do you take the average height of the BIG ASS American population you're a part of ?
It's really easy to do, the recent advances have improved the number of datapoints and the accuracy of each and thus imrpvoed the "average".

WHere'd you get the Socrates "quote" ?
As none of Socrates writings exist then it's the reports of others.
Variously "All I know is I know nothing" or another way "I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance"
Not quite the same
So you beleived them when they said they were reporting from a "neutral viewpoint" ?
It's not, it sets out to support the admittedly suppressed view of the alternative interpretation of the figures and research presented.
So it doesn't compare and evaluate, it produces the reasoning and commentary of "the other side".

It is NOT black-and-white and the problem is too many present it as such and hence "understanding" is lost amongst the balancing of opinion
