Yes I do mean that.

Statistically, 50% of the population MUST be below average in intelligence. Look at a bell curve:

The left side shows those with IQ's under 100, with the right side showing those with IQ's over 100.

Simple statistical math taught in 1st year engineering.

There is a fallacy going on there. Probably several. Partly due to the IQ curve not being a Bell curve.

And when you have a perfect distribution curve the median, mode and mean are the average!

PUN INTENDED!
