So let me explain the “average” comment….
I was an A7E Naval Aviation Plane Captain..circa…1978 it was the summer… Lemoore California, Naval Air Station…I was a Plane Captain trainee and my first solo performance was being graded…the grade was from LCDR Scotty Mitchell…”an average sailor with a below average performance…” I have always loved this comment because I was below average…just made me want to be better…..
Everyone is their “own” average. When compared to others it gets personal. OWS believe the are the majority (median data point? I don’t think so). Politicians talk about moving to the “center” after primaries. Is that average? Is there such a thing as momentum? Can a sports team, company or individual benefit from momentum making them above average? In the short term maybe, Flip a coin 100 times. You can get heads 12 consecutive times. Are you above average? In the end the range is 50%. In the end we’re dead.
You’re way above average since that assessment – you must be on a streak of head flips. We aren’t alive for 100 coin tosses. Keep it going.
