Aug 5, 2016 at 10:03 comment added user30557 I don't think whether we think data exists should affect how we treat a question. Evidence can surprise us. And James, I don't think we necessarily need to sort all those questions out first.. a good answer might reference how experts tend to define and count those things.
Aug 4, 2016 at 23:10 comment added user11643 I like the question. But I don't think it's answerable. I don't think the data that could answer it exist.
Aug 4, 2016 at 23:04 comment added James G. I don't think this should be closed because it's based on joking claims, I think answers to jokingly-made claims could potentially be very interesting. However, I think to answer this question we need more info. What exactly is the definition of kidnapping? Are we just talking about child abduction or all abduction? For child abduction, most abductions are by family members, it seems unlikely weight would play a role. If we only consider non-family member abductions, I'm not sure there is enough data to draw a conclusion.

There might be evidence other than statistical evidence

Aug 4, 2016 at 13:33 comment added DJClayworth Every time I've read that it's clearly been a joke. Can you point to a serious claim about this?
