I'd not argue against that!

But as for the "average person", that's what I mentioned the other

People tend to believe that everybody else is just like them, and
they are just like everybody else.

Normal.
Average.
Right.

But everybody _can't_ be average. The math just doesn't work that way.

I will, however, allow that there is a strong cultural bias that
many people see as "the norm".

So it's something of a shock when New Jersians migrate to Texas
and find about about all those "Crazy Texans".

You ask around your neighborhood.
I'll ask around mine.



Stupid spell checker.
