If I mix water and cement there is a distribution of the two, a ratio if you will. Just because statistics deals with distributions (of probabilities for example) doesn't mean all distributions are in the field of statistics.
I'll leave it at that.
Man you're trying to solve metaphysics wirh ratios and cement and shit lol go away
As hard as it may be to believe, I can't eat metaphysics for put a roof above my head with it. Even Plato didn't sit on perfect abstract chairs or ate abstract apples.
Here's another argument I thought of in the meanwhile:
If we accept that the rule of golden mean is universal, then it necessarily applies to itself. Thus, the correct use of the rule is somewhere between the absolutes of not applying it at all and applying it to everything.
If we don't accept the rule s universally true, then there are circumstances in which it shouldn't be used.
