Averages that turn into policy result in a segregated society. I
   remember it in school. My above-average - not fitting on the
   bell curve put me in the same "not fitting in" as the kids in
   the slow classes. Made me a 'misfit" because I wasn't "average".

   As education and government is relying more and more heavily on
   statistics and averages, public policy is being guided by these
   very same averages.

   This is why it's a dangerous line of thinking that you espouse.
   There's not much margin when averages become law. The individual
   should be the primary focus, not the averages.
