My point was not to insult you. You, my friend X, started the insults when you insist that those losing their jobs are probably mediocre, average, or "suck" - your words first, not mine. I would say that you are mis-informed on this issue. I know that for a fact, as well as I know that 2+2=4. Do you really believe that - that those that lose their jobs must have been the mediocre or average ones? That is the point I take offense too - as it is blatantly untrue. However, it does provide comfort for those that wish to ignore the issue. >> Mediocre is average- it is a fact most people are average- hence the value of statistics. I can point to degrees, and accomplishments and prove I am not average in my field, but a great swathe of our population is going to be mediocre, and some are even going to be below average. To say this is not insulting, it is merely statistical fact.
