      Of course; however, the OP here had no interest in discussing averages. They chose an above average European vacation time and the interest in tanning on the beach and compared it to a way below average American vacation time, who coincidentally needed to spend all of it recovering from heart surgery. Surely, this was an accurate “complete story.”
