    So you know, but you don’t know, and it’s important info, but not so important dying without ever learning would in any way affect you?

      So you know, but you don’t know

      I feel like you’re being intentionally obtuse here. Outside of the realm of math, you can’t know anything with absolute certainty. So if you want to phrase things this way, then yes, people know things, but no one “knows” anything.

      but not so important dying without ever learning would in any way affect you?

      It does affect you. If you experience problematic symptoms and want to determine what the root problem is, how do you go about diagnosing it? Part of the process would include ruling out certain sex-linked diseases based on our best guess at which chromosomes you have.

        Not if you can live and die without ever knowing what your karyotype is it doesn’t.

          I see. You’re using a different definition for the word “affect”. In the future, you should consider properly defining words if you want to use them differently from the rest of the English speaking population. Otherwise you’re just wasting everyone’s time.
