That is not necessarily true; it assumes that the distribution of intelligence is symmetric, which is reasonably non-obvious. Consider the number of legs a person has; clearly, the average is something like 1.99999, due to a small number of people with one or no legs. So the overwhelming majority are above average, legs-wise.

I have good legs.
I like them a lot.

And if you have two, then you are above average in this respect! Congratulations!

Still, if you live in the US, you have a higher than average amount of from-Lake-Wobegon-ness.

Yes, but doctors can cure that now.

Or some talk show radio hosts.
