Thought of the other way, if "most" people fall, then it would be rare to not fall, but more than 1/4 of the responders said they did not fall, therefore it is not rare.

Anyway, people always say "everybody" falls. I challenged that statement in another thread and they responded that 99% fall. I challenged that and they said that "most" fall. I just wanted to try to quantify it.
