Yes, and my point was that this was not the case, as anyone who takes you seriously enough as an intellectual to engage with you earnestly in debate is likely themselves stupid, because they can't recognise how pig thick you are. BT insults the general intelligence of this group by saying your intellect is average (median) within iy, which allows for specific individuals within that group being intelligent (and just having a particularly demanding sense of pity, say).
Ok, let me prove it to you.
Suppose there are two groups of people, group A and group B.
Let intelligence be measured in a score from 1 to n
Assume that the lowest possible score considered to be human is n/2.
I was stated to have less than human intelligence, so let x represent the difference of intelligence that I have from the borderline intelligence, n/2. Or in other words (n/2) - x.
Since I represent the median intelligence for group B, that makes the range of group B to be 1 to (n-2x)
Therefore, as x increases, the range for group B decreases.
So, there is potential for some intelligent people, but not much if I'm as dumb as you say I am. Group B starts off at a disadvantage and the dumber you claim me to be, the dumber you claim them to be.
Just don't complain about semantics math.
Edit: Can't believe I forgot this..
Q.E.D.
Edit 2:
median != average
