So if you worked as an apple quality control enforcer and had seen statistics showing that the apples with shorter stems were 5 times more likely to contain a worm even though there are of course many fine and delicious shorter stemmed apples.
Wouldnt it be your professional duty ro examine the shorter stemmed ones a little more closely?
In subtle ways and sometimes not so subtle you judge and are judged by every person you see and meet. Its the way humans operate and being wary of the guy dressed up like a gangster pumping rap music out of his car in the hood.. well profiling such characters and avoiding them can actually increase your life expectancy
