lol using the 35 country median of 31% negative because the average is 35% negative
I can understand using median. Strips away outliers.
But what's the justification for stripping outliers?
hate the us too much
It makes sense in cases where a single billionaire throws out the average income in an area, not, say, to disregard a country of people who were invaded by the US or it's proxy for a chart on "global" opinions.
They're just using the preferable data. They'd use the average if it was better.
Outlires? like those whacky pesky australians lol, you can account for outlires without resorting to this lazy, cheap cherry picking. Gotta delude yourself to remain optimistic I guess.
This is a percentage scale, there aren't gonna be outliers.
