The question is not whether most men can weightlift, but whether most men do weightlift. They don't.

The question is what criteria would you want a measure to have for it to be called a good measure.
You are arguing that if it empirically works for most people, then it’s a good measure. I’m saying that a good measure should in principle work for most people.
