Referencing the same line, I remember seeing another article on HN somewhat recently about the downside to taking averages of a human to fit specs since the "average"(mathematical mean of measurements) human never existed in reality. Something about fitting pilots to a cockpit?

These "average" cars have pretty terrible seat backs if you happen to be taller than the average. Outright destructive to the spine.
