I was aiming at statistics fallacies, but sure, it’s a basic requirement to understand math.
One curious example that happened to me: I was modeling some CoC model for personal reasons and decided to simulate pushing rolls, the simulation proved that pushing a roll raises the chance of success in ~20%.
Statistics and subjectivity are not good allies.
Statistically, half of all people have below-average knowledge of statistics.
Half of the people have below-median knowledge of statistics.
The amount of people with below-average knowledge of statistics is likely higher than that if we assume that few people have a lot of knowledge of statistics and most people very little.
Let’s be honest. You don’t need to be some math prodigy with a spreadsheet fetish, basic level common sense is enough.
It’s not that people are bad at math, it’s that they are stupid in general.
