Latest theory lands on Portuguese AG's desk

No rob... It's a basic fact... Think about it... Half the population... Below average... Don't say you don't understand the little joke

Which average are you using?

[Robittybob1]

surprisingly half are above average intelligence

I went back to sleep pondering this question, and you are wrong.  There will be a lot of people who are the average height maybe 10% so only 90% will be above and below the average height.  So there is a fair chance it won't be 50% either side.
Same for intelligence.

My post refers to the fact that amaral said he can prove maddie is dead... That sounds to me he is denying her the most basic human right

Could he have made a big mistake there  (alternatively a mighty imagination or telling porkies to beef up his case ) ?

Unless he was there, OR has evidence that he hasn't shared, he cannot KNOW whether Madeleine is dead or alive. 

The dogs didn't prove anything.   Nothing there to show whether Madeleine is dead or alive  FACT

It's patently obvious

You are not using the exact average height or intelligence... You are rounding it off... In reality it would be unlikely  that anyone is the exact average...

It's a little joke.... Some thought it was offensive but in reality it's just an observation

When was it an opinion and when is it presented as fact?  Personally I was surprised they (SC Judges) allowed his book and the video to be considered an opinion, when I'm sure I heard him (GA) say it was a fact.

Yes, he said that he could PROVE that Madeleine was dead.  We had a discussion about it on another forum

If he proved it then it would be a fact, prior to that it is a prediction.  There is obviously a better term.

Don't worry.

[Mr Gray]

Don't worry.

I'm not at all worried

I was thinking someone with above average IQ but below average height.

[G-Unit]

I was thinking someone with above average IQ but below average height.

Bearing in mind that IQ and intelligence are not the same thing.

Wonder if members would like to consider directing their thoughts in the direction of the thread topic.  Please do, t y.

No it isn’t? It leads to different answers.

do you not understand the word average

[slartibartfast]

do you not understand the word average

Yes, it’s fairly obvious you don’t.
