No, I don't agree there is an average bar. Everyone's opinion of that bar will be different, and nobody has a monopoly on deciding what anyone else's bar _must_

No, I don't agree there is an average bar. Everyone's opinion of that bar will be different, and nobody has a monopoly on deciding what anyone else's bar _must_ be. In parts of America, operating a chainsaw at 10 years old is part of the bar. My bar does not include riding a horse, operating a tractor, or firing an automatic weapon. But there are places where those are simple life skills. I guess you're right that there is some kind of blended average you could take of every bar in the world. It would probably include basic math and communication skills.
