Good point! Sometimes people do use music to listen to the equipment - slow piano music is very exposing to wow and flutter - but after that, it's the music for me every time.

No, but it could be true of most. If there is one really bad driver and 99 equally fair drivers, then the average is below the standard of the equally fair drivers so you have 1 below average and 99 above average. (I'm assuming that 'average' means 'mean' and not 'median' of course).
