Ah, Luigi, you are trying to stir me up! You make many
questionable assumptions.
(1) There is a definite thing you mean which I am unaware of.
(2) You know the hours that "the others" actually average over
some period.
(3) The period is relevant and important.
(4) There is a reasonable and clear definition of this class you
call "the other"
Who are "the others"? And what is your evidence of their hours?
A young man or two who might have no other life might say one or
two things. This is a scant basis for concluding anything old
boy...
