...that half the people in the world were below average. Upon further review I think that number is closer to 70%.

So, if 70% of the people are below average, is there really an "average?" For if a person is "average" that would mean they fall within a statistical 50% range. If 70% are below that range, then the previous standard is no longer average, but heightened.

You're confusing median with mean (average). Guess you're one of the below average ones. :texan:
