1/3 of the developers I know were born in New England.

It’s probably not hard to guess the confounding variable.

Sure, but that would be invalidating someone telling you no developers were born in New England.

SV is a 2m+ area filled with local schools, where many of the parents are developers and highly supportive of the education to be a developer. For someone to say “no developers are born in SV” is bewildering.

You've chosen to interpret a missing qualifier as "all" when the more likely response if you'd asked for a clarification would be "most". It was very clear what the point made was, and it was not that nobody born in SV ever becomes developers.
