Umm, according to the mathematical definition of "average", it's literally impossible for almost the entire population of the world to have below-average intelligence.

Do what, John?

There need be not even one person in the world in possession of 'average' intelligence for it to be so. Or would you like to argue that the way such averages are calculated doesn't mean that almost everyone has more than the average number of hands? Given that it only takes one person to lose one hand in an accident for the mean number to drop below '2' if you try to argue otherwise you'll simply display a woeful ignorance of how the mean is calculated.

What matters is the modal value - and thanks to the likes of Einstein and Hawking, the mean is much higher than the mode.

No, your argument is mathematically incorrect.
