>>13061006>That's just a single situation. You don't prove a universal by exhibiting a single example.Actually yeah you do, it's called a counterexample.
>Besides, why would the median do any better in that situation?Fair point. I guess my point about the median is that at least someone (in fact, many) in the population have that IQ. Depending on the distribution curve nobody may have anything even close to the mean, and when considering it as a group the group also won't operate with the mean IQ.
But yeah you have opened a flaw in my thinking, so I will have to go away and think more about it, unless I can be illuminated.
