That's like saying you are due for boxcars. An average rate tells you nothing about when it will happen.

We are also late for the earthquake that will wipe out civilization in the Pacific NW USA/Canada. Estimates are two years to restore electric power. Last one was 1700. The tsunami was noted in Japan.

You don't think averages are useful at all for predicting climate and weather cycles?

They tell you averages, which can be useful. Stats about cycles are also useful.
