This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This might just be a study of how our perception tends to disregard or "dilute" extreme numbers. Imagine someone had an accurate feel for these percentages. They might trend towards a less extreme value, producing a similar result.
