    I think that’s the point. You can’t trust the average developer to do things safely. And remember, half of all programmers are even worse than average.

        The word “average“ can mean many things, for example, mean, median, mode, or even things like “within 1 standard deviation from the mean”.

        I was using it strictly as the mean which divides the population exactly in half.
