No problem. I just get upset that people take a short quote and then decide to force it on everything associated with it.
Due look at the link for ACT Test (For college admission) this kind of shows how to make an average of skills and rank them with a population group. In statistics you can do just about anything and it can be scary but there is always a middle and it just depends on your decision on what is the best tool to use.
Have a great day.
What is the average fruit from a set of 10 different apples and 3 different oranges?
It was your assumption that skill level of 2 developers can be compared.
And it's not an useless theorethical distinction. In lay terms: most programmers are worse than average skill level of all programmers.
I even showed you real world example. IT is growing very fast, so most people are beginners.
I'm not trying to look down on anybody. Being better developer doesn't mean you are a better person, and I'm not above average IMO anyway.
EDIT: I looked it up (I'm not native English speaker), and you were right about the math terminology. In Polish average=mean=średnia. Damn false friends. So, if you meant average as median I agree.
