But it doesnt though.

If there are 20000 large breasted female avatars in SL, and 5000 are played by men.. then the statement would be "some"

If there are 5000 female avatars in SL, and 3000 of them have larger than average breasts.. then the statement would be closer to "many".

You're trying to combine two completely different statistics, about two completely different things for the sake of being able to call them a "blanket statement" about avatar characteristics.

To be quite honest, I would say that the numbers I've had experience with over 2 years in SL very accurately represent the statements made.
