"In practice, statistics is the idea we can learn about the properties of large sets of objects or events (a population) by studying the characteristics of a smaller number of similar objects or events (a sample). Because in many cases gathering comprehensive data about an entire population is too costly, difficult, or flat out impossible, statistics start with a sample that can conveniently or affordably be observed."
The data is comprehensive, so therefore not a statistic.

You never took statistics did you? The data is not comprehensive by the CDC's own admission anyhow. Try again.

So you disobey the speed limits, but you haven't gotten caught in 40 years, and you do it in a way that you deem safe to society. Got it.

I share the road with others that I don't know, and drive defensibly as to not risk the safety of others on the road. Common courtesy saves lives. Thinking of others is a bold concept I know but you might raise your eyes and see the danger you might present to those around you.

That isn't at question here.

If anything is at question, should be why you would tell others to stop at stop signs, while you openly defy speed limits yourself.

Personally if I come to a 4-way stop and am the only one in sight, I will do a rolling stop. I assume you do the same. Why can't Rob?
