Reply to comment by Tyrrox in TIL that the ratio of male births to female births is 51/49%, and it's thought the ratio of X and Y chromosomes in the man's sperm is most likely the cause. by iKickdaBass
You forget the importance of percentage of overall mass. It’s probably more like the race performance difference of two identical cars, one with 3% more fuel in the tank, versus one with 3% more overall weight.
Little effects like this can produce outsized results or no change in results, but the “sized” result is way less than 2%.
