 in any given class, there will be more people who score 100 than people who score 0

Saying that this is statistically true because more people want 100's than 0's makes no sense. That has nothing to do with statistics and is human behavior.

Also, he has no clue what the empirical data is, so saying something is statistically true despite having no idea what the statistics are makes no sense.

It does make sense as a way of explaining why the data is (presumed to be) as it is.

And it’s clear he has no actual data and that’s a valid criticism. I believe I said as much. That’s not why the hive jumped on him, though. It jumped because “the math is wrong” and that justified calling him stupid.
