> Those sorts of generalized nationwide numbers wasn’t my point anyway, rather proper data analysis and putting data into the wider context of the various communities/finer demographics/etc leads to far more useful conclusions than national level ones alone.

What conclusions would those be?

If you'd prefer you could compare whatever nation you'd like with individual US states. You have plenty of US states to pick and choose from.

Regardless, I don't see this sort of statistics rigour when comparing the US to "Europe" as a whole, in spite of the heterogeneous nature of the whole continent (some countries even have regions where people speak entirely different languages) and the fact that the population of "Europe" is well over twice that of the US.

But I guess the point might just be to shut down discussions to avoid conclusions and introspection.
