> If I want to understand an individual human being, I must lay aside all scientific knowledge of the average man and discard all theories in order to adopt a completely new and unprejudiced attitude.
-- Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self
Everything in the average is infinitely reduced, even if you make a chair, a perfect chair for one is torture for another. So we compromise for all.
It is the same with user interface, or education.
Now however I think we can break out of this, with new unique interfaces for each individual, or teaching every child what they are struggling with, be ahead or behind the other children, there is no need to teach quadratic equations to 1 million kids in the very same time in the very same way, some get them in the first lesson, some in the last, and some never get them.
