Average is all we need ! I mean, working 50% is enough, right ?
A car that starts 50% of the time ?
A plane that stops on 50% of the flights ?
A pacemaker that beats only 50% of the time ?

- CodeyWhizzBang 6mo agoA car that starts 50% of the time isn't "average". The average new car starts more or less every time. (And if you said 'modal average', I'd say the modal average new car starts every time).
- JackSlateur 6mo agoIt is not average today because people in the past tried to do better, not average things
- CodeyWhizzBang 6mo agoI think that's maybe the point of the article: "Whereas before, average was expensive in terms of both time and effort, average became cheap."
