> The reality is that the study was looking at the difference best and worst performers, not best vs average This is a myth, the worst performers didn't complete the task or delivered a faulty solution, those were removed from the study so you didn't see the worst. Best to worst would be much much larger than 10x, however finding anything larger than 10x would take a very long time as it means waiting around for the slowest to finish. Edit: And if you add back all of those worst performers, best vs average would also shift significantly towars 10x.
