Sigh.
That would be a nice explanation if it actually fit the numbers. That subset of human retinas actually turns out to be 75% of the population. As for average vision, 35% of people can see better than 20/20 with no aids, and once glasses/contacts are added this number jumps significantly.
Apple's displays may well be termed true "20/20 displays" but calling them "retina displays" seems disingenuous.
