I guess my view is, unless you are doing stats/machine learning (and maybe not even then!), you ought to have no opinion on B vs F. This is an argument that will not affect your life.

Huh, I thought your examples (some of which are life-affecting) are supposed to demonstrate that there are plenty of cases where for the same limited set of data B > F, but it looks like I misunderstood your point completely. Sorry about that.
