    It’s not meaningless. Some peoples brain work in a completely different way than the majority, and why should we ignore that? It’s very important knowledge to figure out things.

    It’s not like it’s a tiny scale of small differences between people. It’s more like 99% being quite similar and then 1% being completely different. That is very significant. Numbers are made up to make a point.

    It’s almost like saying let’s not study sociopaths because they are just like everyone else. They aren’t.

      “Completely” different, interesting way to put it. Diagnosis must be trivial.
