825733 2009-11-01 01:58:00 I have to wonder,then, by how many % over the afformentioned 50% would the intelligence of NZ go up if all the politicians left the country at the same time????? PJ
I have no idea - but it is a brilliant concept that should be tested over a very long time.

Would it be like improving the crop by ripping out the weeds? Each politician, or anything looking like a politician, should be deported the instant it appears.

825734 2009-11-01 03:11:00 The process of calculating a mean is inherently numerical, and requires a value to compare. You can't simply say "I'm averaging the population", you have to average based on something.

Exactly.



More than 50% of the population is below average.


What an absurdly strange statement to make.

Why do I get the feeling that I have played right into the hands of the master troll here? I have a sneaky suspicion that the tune I was unwittingly dancing to wasn't my own...
