No. That would be the "median" not the "average". Sorry, had to get

Would it be reasonable to say that "smarts" has a bell shaped curve, so
the median and average are the same?

OK, I'll run with this :-). I don't think so (I have no proof). We're
not talking "smarts" here but piloting skill. Most bad pilots "saw the
light" and never made it to license (Lord knows that it wasn't all of
them). So, your curve would not be bell shaped. I could be wrong :-).
