A man 75 inches high might be called not normal, but never abnormal.
///A QI program I watched a few days ago mentioned a survey taken to find the average person
Measured numerous aspects and averaged out each one

Could not
Not a single person matched all of the averages. Which really should not be a surprise
You are unique just like everybody else
Or even fictional.The problem with " normal " is that it becomes a defined way of thinking for the mainstream populace and therefore becomes dogmatic .
Yes.I wonder if sometimes we mistake ''normal'' for merely conforming to societal constructs. Those who don't conform, are dubbed ''abnormal.''
