In a normal distribution, like lets say a large population, the mean, median, and mode are all equal. I don't see a problem with the quote.

- foofie 3y agoThe set of people who pass the hiring bar at companies like Google are not modelled as the normal distribution of the average person you come across in the grocery store. Companies like Google are not known for hiring morons. It is a self-aggrandizing dumb comparison, and should be dismissed as such. It reads as a desperate attempt to rationalize away these layoffs as something that only applies to others.
