> Now consider the fact that half of the population are even dumber than that.
Ser, the average is not the same as the median.

It is on a quotient.

Well... Q.E.D.
What's a quotient? x/y?
The median is the average for a symmetric distribution. What am I missing here?
... the joke?
It's normed to the population.
Yes, that was in the OP. But the normalization is for the entire distribution, that doesn't mean average == median, iiuc, but I might be missing something.
It's not really a true quotient, anymore, but it has a similar effect.
Human traits like height, beauty, intelligence, etc. tend to follow a normal distribution within a large population. We can generally expect the average and the median to be the same.
The median woman will tend to be average height, weight, looks, smarts, number of sexual partners, blood pressure rate, etc.
Also, central limit theorem applies.
for a Gaussian distribution it is
