The apples are the same, or thereabouts, the only real difference is the age.

Like I said, it just makes it more likely that older people drive more automatics. This is not hard.
You are right it's not hard. Put simply, you are assuming everyone buys the same amount of apples and the curve is linear. It's not. If 49,999 people buy one green apple and 1 person buys 50,000 red apples the statistic stands but logic does not.

EDIT: I went back and re-read your original statement and retract my comment. I interpreted your comment the same as Tcoat and now I see what you are saying.
