Reminds me in the late 1940's the USAF was losing pilots and jets to 'human factors'. They thought to solve it by hiring a statistician to measure their pilots and determine the average pilot. The better the design cockpits and controls around. That guy found there wasn't an average pilot. You have more combinations of foot/hand size, arm/leg length, torso's etc than you have pilots.

With culture ultimately everyone's some sort of deviant.
