9. So *most* people are stupider than the average person
If the incredibly smart have a way of pulling the average up.

Medians and averages allow republicans to say things like "the average American gets a tax cut of $5,000, when it is the $100,000 tax cut to the 95th percentile taxpayers that pull the average WAY up. (note, the $5000 and $100,000 numbers are arbitrary. I don't have the data, er, propaganda handy)
