I'll ask you again - prove it.
Hint 6: What is the average phone number nationally?

Get back to me when you can.
555-5555 Am I close?

Missed by a mile.

The analogy is that phone numbers for any given location, locally,
regionally and nationally, change regularly, can be unlisted, may not
even exist except in a queue waiting deployment, and cannot be
averaged because they are too dynamic over time.

A direct comparison to "global temperature average".

Wait, then how do you know I missed it by a mile? I could be right, in
fact, I am going to take the stand that I absolutely, positively am
right. By a quirk, considering all variables, the average is 555-5555.

Now if you want me to include area codes, I will have to redo my figures.
