  To be fair, that is how averages work.

  On a bell curve half are above, half below the exact average point. If you take into account college students were exempt from the draft, you remove a chunk that’s likely mostly above the middle point. So by definition, the group leftover would be of below average intelligence, and more than 50% of people word fall below the average point.

    Yes.

    The only thing to add is that the intelligence we are talking about here is a social construct and the numbers used to express it have specifically been adjusted to give a normal distribution (a bell curve).
