If you apply the bell curve, which is based on totally random independent coin flips, aren’t you pre-determining the outcome of any analysis? What activities or studies can replicate isolated independent coin flips? Even at the quantum level, unknown variables are called into play, aren’t they?

This makes no sense to me. Is the universe designed with the bell shape in mind? I think not. At its best and worst, it is self-fulfilling. We get what we create for, don’t we?
Lastly, I sense that the “bell “ is more nefarious than one might suspect, as it justifies “comparisons.” and the illusion of “objectivity.”. This quote comes to mind, Not everything that can be counted counts. Not everything that counts can be counted.” ( Einstein and others).
These are all good questions. And there are entire courses you can take in masters level statistics and sociology to help you figure it out. A good place to start is by asking claude.ai. It's pretty good at reasoning for what it is.
