Every person is part of the definition of the average person. Of course, you can take a look at the outliers, but they are rare, by definition.

If you start segmenting the set of people along all possible dimensions in order to find "local outliers", then eventually, everyone will become an outlier in one of the sets.

I think it's reasonable to say that everyone should do as well as they can, and if everyone does that, the average person will have an impact.
