I guess it’s not too much of a surprise, then, that he doesn’t grasp the difference between a mean and a median or how average is most commonly used to apply to the former, and how when one means the latter, one should just straight up say the latter rather than introduce ambiguity. Unless, of course, on wants to be a disingenuous fucktard and play the “Gotcha!” game with the first person to wander in and question their meaning.
Probably also helps to explain how he managed to become so entrenched in “scientific” racism. It’s the same shitty arguments relying on cherry-picked data and mere coincidence and correlation going round and round the toilet bowl. There are really no fresh/original arguments, and so when someone who endorses that kind of crap sees an argument that they agree with–looks like exactly the sort of thing they’d say–they may not be well-primed to realize that’s because they really are the one who said it.
Wow, I didn’t think you’d be stupid enough to point out your own errors and then make those same errors again.
Here is the post where you fail to recognize median as a form of average (or perhaps you are simply conflating average and mean but in either event it was a stupid mistake that you can’t seem to admit to, a character flaw that you and iiandyii seem to share):
Oddly, the law schools themselves don’t seem to care about the “average” score. They care about the median. Which is to say, they want that line above which half their students have a particular score or better to be as high as possible. If you look at how scores vary between the 25-50-75th percentiles at any given law school, but especially the most prestigious, you can get an idea of just how little (or how much) a high score matters, really. Hint: medians are much higher than what these scho…
