Yes it was worded a bit harshly. Still I sincerely hope that he was more than just a little below average. If 50% of transport pilots in the world would pull hard and keep pulling all the way to the ground in response to the stick shaker then we are in big trouble. (You are thinking of the median by the way, the median separates one half of the data from another, the average does not necessarily do this but it does tend to given a normal bell curve.)
