Not only are they pointless. The OP just doubles down when you try to explain why they aren’t looking at things the right way. And they clearly don’t understand the game of football. I’ve had some frustrating conversations with them on my post.

And I agree, both of our analyses are impacted by survivorship bias. If you get to this point, you’re the best in the world. But within that context it’s still worth proving that height doesn’t make much (or any) difference. A slight build might make a difference in injury risk, but that’s a story for another day.

It's definitely not per person. Even in the US it's probably not a thousand square foot per person. I think it's about 50 to 75% bigger in the US (Google) but would still probably comment at about 500 to 700 ft² per person if I had to guess. The average single-family home in the US is about 2,200 ft². The average apartment size is about 900 ft². The average household size is 2.6.

1000sq ft per person,? holy sh* Why so much? How much stuff does a human need?

Our current house is 103m2-1108sq ft and with the 2 of us its already pretty spacious. 3bedrooms, a loft, 1,5 bathroom. A decent size garden and a double garage. Other houses in the street have 2adults and 2 or even 3 kids.

I would have no idea what to do with a house dubble as big our current one. The cleaning, the heating bill,the maintenance etc.

None of those (well, QB Rating but that doesn't exist amongst the others on the list) would have any meaningful correlation to QB success. In fact, nothing at the combine that gets measured would matter.

But this has been chosen specifically b/c there's a particular prospect who is on the short side and it could be a reason he is not selected with the top overall pick (though it's guaranteed he will be one of the 1st 2 picks no matter what). It's a very silly reason to dislike an otherwise great prospect as heigh has never been linked to performance for guys who are good enough to be in the NFL. I'm not interested in trying to find a specific measured attribute that correlates highly with NFL success b/c it doesn't exist. There are certain intangible aspects that aren't currently measured, if there weren't then the NFL draft would be a waste of time in itself as everyone would just pick correctly the first time.

To compare this to my American expectations, I found that

  1. A sq m is about 11 sq ft (1600 sq in / 144 sq in).
  2. The € is worth about $1.08 right now. It’s been as low as 85¢ in 2001 and as high as $1.59 in 2008.

So a hypothetical 1100 sq ft apartment (say 30’ x 37’) 10 km (6.2 mi) from Notre Dame would run anywhere from €1500 to €5000 per month. ($1620 to $5400 / month)

I’m guessing apartments in Paris are mostly small to tiny. What is a typical size for studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments? What’s the minimum size?

Does number of rooms count bathrooms?
Is a kitchen usually counted as a room?
Do all apartments in Paris have bathrooms and kitchens? Even 1-room apartments?

Thanks for the data and the plot.
