    It seems really clear it was an argument against using an absurd example.

    According to upvotes - many people only read the headline.

    Never forget: 50% of the population have below average intelligence, by definition.

        This is the problem with small sample sizes, which is why we have standard deviation. Given that IQ is on a normal curve (it is) and we have a large sample size (we do), the deviation is going to be very small.

        So, very very close to 50% of the population is below average intelligence.
