From the paper:

> The difference of an attribute value between any group of individuals in the objective world is usually in the same order of magnitude as the absolute value of an individual attribute. For example, one adult weighs 100 pounds, and the difference between a very fat man and a very thin man is also 100 pounds. Similarly, the weight of an ant is in grams, and the difference between a big ant and a small ant is also in grams. Of course, these are not strictly proven conclusions.

This seems... peculiar?

Yet also (Acknowledgements):

It's also just false. It applies to normally distributed quantities whose average is centred on the same scale the population is measured on.

However it, necessarily, doesn't apply, to power-law distributions (,... wealth, popularity, ...) -- and many others.

Also from right before that paragraph in the introduction is this strange argument:

> Also there are famous scientists agree that NP=P. Hilbert, a great mathematician of the twentieth century, has afamous saying: we must know; we will know. It can be seen that Hilbert essentially agreed that NP equals P. Many mathematical problems in human history, including Hilbert's famous 23 mathematical problems, are constantly beingsolved. Isn't it a confirmation that NP equals P?
