But the averages of the 2 curves are identical so the 2 groups must be identical!!!

— One of the most common lying-with statistics scams

Look at those 2 curves, which have IDENTICAL averages

— Clearly the green one has much fatter tails, far more of the extremes

For anything of consequence, one or both of those fat tails are all that matters — NEVER the middle

E.g. imagine the y-axis being skill at being a pilot

- with the left side being people who would somehow instantly crash

- the middle being those who could never be good enough to get a pilot’s license, but still do a bit better than those on the left

- and the right edge is those who are extremely good at piloting, this is where essentially all of the pilots are

Does it matter how good the “average” person is at flying a plane?

NO

The “average” person would crash the plane on the first flight.

The “average” people get FILTERED OUT in practice

— All that matters, in practice, is that upper EXTREME

Beware the common lying-with-statistics scam of focusing just on the “average”, when the “average” is totally irrelevant to whatever task at hand and already filtered out in practice

(Note also that good is a question of “value”, not “truth”, and unlike truth, which holds everywhere, for value you always must specify the task at hand = scammy to say things are equally valuable if you don’t specify for what, and just by specifying it nearly always quickly becomes clear that the extremes are all that matters for that task at hand)
