That's fine, but it doesn't take away from the fact that Murray is referring to the common understanding of average, not range average. He is not required to use YOUR definition of average when making an argument.

He is not using MY definition. He is setting up a strawman here. IQ is discussed in ranges like distance is discussed in miles. He is playing games. Mind you I admire his work, and the work of the Curve. I think that the two most compassionate chapters in social policy are the last two chapters of that book.
But this opening sentence is a poor ploy.

If you are not a pilot you do not argue avaition technique with one.
Don't argue IQ statistical ranges with me. This is part of my bread and butter.
