But there are also ~~pergerante~~ pregnant women, which raise the number of bones inside a person ๐ค
There are about 130,000,000 birth's per year. Assuming a word population of 8 billion and that an unborn baby has all its bones for 7/12 months, this increases the average number of bones inside humans by ~1%.
This would compensate 10% of the population, missing 10% of their bones. If you assume only 3.5/12 months, it's still 10% missing 5%.
If that is correct, I would assume that the OP is correct, too.

There is also the issue of what an "entire skeleton" is in this context. Is a baby's head on an adult's ribcage considered OK or does it have to be an adult head?
Bone is bone
Also, babies have more bones
