What position in the distribution is suitably "scientifically rigorous"? Should all children's cartoons represent only the population mean? Or perhaps the median - at least that is guaranteed to actually exist. Maybe the mode would be better - but what if there is more than one? We could be willing to be a bit more relaxed, and allow anything within the middle two quartiles. Or, perhaps, we should just remember that there is a distinction between material produced for children and the academic consensus.
