However it is plausible. There is no information whatsoever regarding his family members, except that they belong to a group of people that exclude his brother, and the implied information that any of these people who are not his brother may or may not be heavy. Since there is no way to distinguish between the hypothetical heaviness or non-heaviness of his other family members until tested, it falls under the theory of Schrodinger’s Cat, by which any family member is simultaneous heavy and not heavy until empirically tested.

I fail. I thought that this graph was referring to “Mother, Father” by Journey. T_T

I agree with Pedantic. All we know is the my brother ain’t heavy. There is no evidence that other family members are actually heavy.

this is logically incorrect. The brother not being heavy doesn’t mean other family members are heavy. It has no implications at all for the weights of the rest of the family.

ha… that one took me a second, because it actually DOES represent the heaviness of the people in my family. weird. well… I couldn’t lift my brother, so I might give him more than “0,” but relatively-speaking (about relatives)…
