    your thinking the average as the mean.

    I’m meaning average to be 20th percentile.

    meaning “most” people where your average would only include half of all people.

    my favourite park ranger quote was talking about why bear proof bear garbage containers weren’t better. The answer was along the lines of there’s a siginificat overlap between cleaver bears, and not so cleaver people.

    you have to account for more than average, you have yo account for below it, so that its accesaible to more than 50% of people.
