Well, think about how many people you meet.
[–] lodro ago (edited ago)
Intuitive judgements based on one's subjective impression of how many people one meets are not relevant to claim about statistics, and offer essentially no evidence that the claim is true.
In fact, in almost every case in which intuitive judgements about objective facts have been subjected to scientific inquiry, intuitive judgements are found to produce severely distorted, false impressions of those facts.

Sure it might be a lot less than one would think, but over a lifetime of meeting people, it's certainly possible.
