Well, at least you've added a few qualifiers to your original
statement. The words "Average" and "Most"  make you're statement
Perfectly acceptable to ME.  But really .. there is no reason to be
hostile with me.  I'm not stubborn, And I'm really not sure WHAT I
can say to make you understand that it's NOT ME that you should be
Fighting against.
