You know, that's all people say is that "I'm not an average consumer". If everyone isn't, then who is? Averages lie. Show me a bell curve any day.

Averages lie.

- mjt0229 13y agoWhat I really should have said was that whenever I use myself as an example of the "typical consumer", I'm inevitably making a wrong decision based on some idiosyncrasy.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoHow many people make a point of saying "yes, I am indeed your average consumer"?
- bcbrown 13y agoI would venture to say that the average consumer doesn't take part in online discussions about the behaviors of average consumers.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoMy point exactly. Can you say "sampling bias"?
- Dirlewanger 13y agoThe average consumer is not posting on a website talking about their spending behavior. The lot of us may be "average" with things like, say, automotive purchases and whatnot, but given that this website has a tech slant, it's fair to say he's not the average consumer, at least not when it comes to consumer electronics.
