Jorge is referring to the statistical mode (sort of like a lion of the
type that is a numerical plurality), and John is referring something more
like the statistical average (an abstract entity, like a set). I think the

I don't think I'm referring to the mode. I meant to answer
the other post where you mentioned this but I accidentaly forgot
about it. Couples in general can have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, any number

mode, which is probably zero, depending on which couples we're
talking about.
