I thought the response much better than the original point. It seems to me that when we speak of being better than average, median is assumed, so more than fifty percent can't be better than average. Using mean makes no sense in that context. At least not to me.

"We can all be happy with our relative position if we have different areas of life where status matters to us."

Lotsa wisdom in that.
