The concept of dimensions ties in with proportions, so I'm not sure what point you're making. Of course I am aware of what extrapolation means, but thank you. The very fact that you post the definition (lol) suggests to me that that either went completely over your head or in fact you and others are the ones extrapolating all the while suggesting that I am. And of course the latter's the case.

The fact remains that there are avg dimensions (and yes, by extension, proportions!) to the human hand. Given that, it seems reasonable we may have an intelligent conversation about designing a mobile device meant to fit in your hand. The fact of random fanboys, some of whom like you have exhibited bullying behavior (what a surprise) coming in here and telling me that it doesn't fit their hand is irrelevant, or that I am somehow talking in terms of "extrapolation" when I speak of statistical averages. I'm really not sure where you're getting lost.

To put it more plainly, the SE Gen1 fit better in more people's hands. Yes, because of the dimensions of the avg hand. And yes, because of the proportions of the avg hand. The definition of proportion follows from dimension (it's a ratio of measurments). If human hands somehow had the same proportions but there was nothing meaningful we could say about their average size (statistically speaking) then you would have a point. But that's not the reality, and I certainly hope you're not suggesting it is. The avg iphone user cannot use an iphone 14 in one hand comfortably or such that they can reach the entire screen. The thumb cannot swipe (in right hand) from bottom left to top right. Does that mean no one can do it? Of course not.. that much is obvious. But again, stop literally doing what you claim I'm doing (extrapolating rather than speaking in terms of statistical averages) and then claiming that somehow refutes my logic. It doesn't. You came in here to attack/ridicule me with your comment - an obvious strawman. And it didn't work out. If you can intelligently refute the arguments above.. go for it. Unless you're going to come up with new definitions for these words or somehow change how science works (you know, basic math), I don't imagine you're going to have much success.
