> given actual human population/landmass distributions, it appears obviously wrong to say that a random person has a 95% probability of living in a country no more than 20% larger than the home country of a randomly selected person from another country...

You are just refusing to believe statistics has any value. It's just maths, not opinions.

I mean, when we say a fair coin will turn up heads exactly 50% of the time, we mean it in a mathematical way.

Do it 3 times, and you might get 3 tails... based on your argument, the theory should be put into question... but of course it's not how maths works.

Do it 1000 times, and you will see how the normal distribution becomes aparent, with a mean nearly exactly a 0.5. Do it 1 million times, and the mean becomes even more evident... you can keep going on forever, it will ALWAYS become more evident. This is not useless just because it doesn't work after a few times. You can be extremely confident it would work after a large amounts of tries.
