I think the point is that whole collectively one group may be more privileged, people are individuals and not a collective.

For example a black child born into extreme or moderate wealth is undoubtedly more privileged than a white child that is orphaned at a young age.

Conditionality is applied in the concept: Privilege is essentially the difference in outcomes ascribed to two otherwise identical people due to a particular disadvantage that members of one group suffer but members of the other group don't.

There is always statistical outliers in any large data set, but they don't affect the median value significantly.

This is in no way a rebuttal to what they said. The point is that privilege very well may exist and be a valid concept surrounding an aggregate, but be a invalid tool for comparing individuals.

Who's using it to compare individuals? The entire discussion revolves around populations and institutions.
