"the average Internet user, according to the same statistics, also has 2.8 children who are using the Internet as well"

in the best case, call it 1.4 children per person to account for two parents both claiming the same 2.8 children ... wouldn't that mean the average number of children outnumber the average number of internet user by a factor of 1.4, skewing the average internet user to be their children instead? it makes my head hurt to think about. intuitively it seems wrong, but with the "average" part thrown in, I'm not entirely certain it's mathematically impossible

Editors Note: 1.6? WHO SAID 1.6? LOOK A PURPLE MOOSE!
