It makes sense in cases where a single billionaire throws out the average income in an area, not, say, to disregard a country of people who were invaded by the US or it's proxy for a chart on "global" opinions.
Outlires? like those whacky pesky australians lol, you can account for outlires without resorting to this lazy, cheap cherry picking. Gotta delude yourself to remain optimistic I guess.
I can understand using median. Strips away outliers.
This is a percentage scale, there aren't gonna be outliers.
But what's the justification for stripping outliers?
hate the us too much
They're just using the preferable data. They'd use the average if it was better.
