In your opinion, what is the "statistical error" being alluded to in the spiders georg meme?

1) using the arithmetic mean as a statistic when the distribution has one massive outlier skewing it

2) using a sample containing said massive outlier to calculate the arithmetic mean

3) something else

1 and 2 are fundamentally the same error, is our hot take.
