If you had simply criticized the "weighted average", I would not have
replied the way I did. However, you specifically said, "These data
are irrelevant to those of us that live in a first world nation -
especially that spurious weighted average"

And from that you jumped to the non-sequitor that I thought it was
"irrelevant to learn about things in countries besides [my] own?"

Again, my dislike of non-contextual statistics and incorrect usage of
data reveals nothing about my desire [or perceived lack thereof] to
learn anything about the world. Useful data teaches us quite a lot about
the world we live in. It is the whole point of collecting it in the
first place.
