3) Hint: If Sweden has a "79% larger" elderly population than Norway (in proportion), there must be a yuuuuge life expectancy diff betw the 2. You don't need to understand probability/expectation beyond high school level to see the error. BTC activists have intellectual issues. — PolitiTweet.org

How the Lognormal is in fact a treacherous distribution: monstrously fat-tailed at \sigma >1. Explains why the debates on whether a dist is lognormal or powerlaw are "academic" in the worst sense of the word.
