that is true, but most of these would either be worse for building a skeleton because they deform other bones or do nothing because theyre just extra bits that wouldnt help anyway (in case its a disjointed bone)
It comes down to how you define the average. You have a person with a bone too much and one person with a bone too little. One person is small, the other is big. What is the average skeleton? What does that even mean?
technically, because noone has a higher amount of bones but many people have less, this is false.
Some people have additional bones.

You could have just said you learned something instead of trying to deflect by moving the goalposts.
thats true
It said enough, not the right set of
if the bones are wrong would it still be an entire skeleton?

thats the question we shouldve been asking all along
Again, the key word is “enough”. That implies that it’s about the number of bones, neither shape or form or size
Late stage pregnant woman have a higher amount of human bones
finally someone that doesnt just tell me there is a very rare disease that creates a single extra bone
anyway yeah if you count pregnant women the average skeletons in a human body is more than one
What about that one horrible disease where your muscles start turning into extra bones?
those bones dont help much in making a skeleton
Rarer than getting a synthetic hip or being born without wisdom teeth, for example
or losing limbs
