Just a little fun things to know:

- Left handed people are usually more creative. They've done studies in artistic schools and up to 40% people are left handed there.

- % wise left handed people have played a more important role in history(that means that if you look at all the big names in history the % of them being left handed is bigger then the change you have of being left handed by birth)

Yeah, and they also don't live as long. Pointless statistics are pointless.

That's actually never proven. There are studies that show how left handed people get more diseases like breast cancer for women though. Statistics aren't pointless as we don't have an idea how our brains really works in some cases.

And so what if it's pointless, human beings are pointless as well.

It's pointless because it means so very little. Saying that left handed people have played a slightly statistically higher role in history than there are left handed people means nothing. Heck, the same pattern can be found on Vgchartz (more left handed people than the average), and you don't have to be creative or innovative to sign up for Vgchartz. These statistics mean nothing, and I'm sure that most of the people voting are just going with the most "original" option. Especially since there are suddenly a lot of ambidextrous people.

And humans being are pointless? That is one dumb rebuttal. 

What does that have to do with anything? That people lie here doesn't mean other statistics are a lie as well. The fact that there's so many ambidextrous people here means that most people here don't have a clue what it really means.

And it's not a slightly higher role, it's big enough to actually make you wonder why it's like that. It's not so much the statistics that are important in this context, but what causes them to be like this. If stimulating different parts of your brain makes you achieve higher things then normal then I wouldn't call it pointless. Scientists are going to mess with the human brain one day anyway, whether we like it or not.

And my humans being pointless response isn't a dumb rebuttal. What I mean by that is that you don't decide what's pointless and what isn't.
