Statistically, if you're looking at the top or bottom 5%, you're not
looking at the majority. By definition.

(Tried replying to pouncer, it bounced)
Although the specific percentile is higher, if you look at the 15-85
percentile range, there's an awful lot of overlap.

If you say "Here's a 5"5' person, based on statistics will they be male or
female?"  you may as well flip a coin as look at statistics.
