All of us.
This post has been sitting in the "Unpublished" bucket for a while, and this post has prompted me to unleash hell....
There is no getting around the Normal Distribution, unless you are some kind of mathematical pagan who doesn't believe in The Central Limit Theorem.
With that behind us, it is safe to say that out of any "random" selection from any population:
- There are some below average,
- There are many that are average (within a certain SD anyway),
- There are some above average.
Of course, the measured value is irrelevant; it could be IQ, height, weight, eye color, ability to lay out UI elements, etc.
With that stark slap-in-the-face, take a look around at your coworkers. Some of them are better than you are, some are not.
So even if you think you are really smart, in the right crowd, you are just an idiot. Keep that one in your hip pocket, next time you want to be condescending or hurtful.
