If you name a group, I can give you a mathematical model that will unfairly discriminate against that group, purely through how I divide up the population. "Math" is a mechanism, not an indicator of right or wrong.

Actuarial Science is a hard science that is a few hundred years old, not a social construct that you can manipulate.

There is no desire to "show" anything beyond having an accurate representation of probability.

Actuarial Science is also a mechanism, not something that indicates right or wrong. It gives you answers to questions. But questions themselves can be biased.
