FWIW: That’s a common logical fallacy, and variation of the NAXALT fallacy. The fact that all groups consist of distributions of any given property, does not mean we cannot observe consistencies and predict the behavior of individuals and groups, probabilistically given that distribution. This is why stereotypes are the most accurate measurement in social science. They’re largely true, because they survive observation and testing every single day, over and over again.
