Isn't that roughly what you would expect anyway? 50% of the population is below the median. Take a separate population and measure them against the overall median, and simply through statistical chance, a good number of those samples will have an average slower than the median.

over half developed in a statistically significant way that is lower than the expected "bottom half"
