Well, i think that i am above average in some ways, and below average in others; some qualities i was born with, others i worked for, others were gifts. So the idea of an average human being doesn't compute well for.
I think of "Lake Webegon" where all the men are handsome, all the women are wise, and all the children are "above average." Who is to say that one measuring instrument is superior to another when they are measuring different dimensions of "realiy."
