One would think that with such high standards you'd offer your own
evidence that the distribution of talent for a task in the United
States *does* approximate a normal distribution! I'd be inclined to
think it doesn't.
Well, then you are arguing against just about everything that W. Edwards
Deming ever wrote. Possible, but he's got reams of data backing up his
assessments of quality and productivity. In addition, Deming points out
that manufacturing systems should be engineered such that the outputs
are as insensitive as possible to the the natural variation in inputs
(including quality of people).
