But it still wouldn’t be an entire human skeleton, as there’s more to a skeleton than just the number of bones.

Despite all the “AKcHUaLLy” comments this is probably true.
If the body has 206 bones and the global average is like 205.7, a bone that is even partially complete is still a bone, and it is probably so close to 206 that the missing parts are negligible and distributed across the skeleton anyway. Think about it, how many people do you know that are missing an appendage or a bone by defect? I bet it’s less than 0.5% of everyone you know.

I have 2 neighbours is missing a leg, and a family friend missing a finger. I am one of the outliers.

Did these people lose their limbs before or after they met you?

I only known them without limbs.
