> either your claim is wrong, or hardly anyone is willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people

That is cute, but not logical. Let me offer a third option: people don't do it, despite the fact that it is easy.

I might say, if you have normal body control, it is very easy to make your bed every day. Your logic applied to that same statement might be, "given that roughly half of people don't make their bed every day, either half the population doesn't have normal body control, or your claim is wrong"

There are many things that are very easy to do, without any caveats at all, that most people don't do.

Simple is not the same as easy.

Your plan is simple, but someone making 20k/yr probably does not share your belief that making much more than that is easy to do.

They may not share my belief, but that doesn’t change the facts.
