No flaw with math/stats here, that can actually happen. I think you're confusing average/mean with median (50-percentile).

PS: I'm not sure where he's getting his numbers though

I'm 99% sure that was tongue in cheek.

I think that it would have been even funnier to say that 99% of developers and 99% of drivers are better than the median, but I only figured this thanks to your parent's comment.
