Consistently observed behavior in a population subset is not an abnormality.
Fair. It comes down to which definition of abnormal you jump to. Merriam Webster gives two possible definitons:
- deviating from the normal or average
- often : unusual in an unwelcome or problematic way
I always though of it as #1, but this whole thread has taught me that most others see it as #2, so it’s not the best word for me to use in this case.
