A brilliant statistical pun that would make my old professor weep with joy. The top graph shows a perfect normal distribution centered at zero—what society thinks the arithmetic "mean" is attracted to. But the bottom graph reveals the truth: means are actually drawn to outliers and skewed distributions, creating that delicious right tail. Statisticians know the dirty secret—means can't resist being pulled toward extreme values. It's like watching a respectable professor getting dragged to a wild party against their will. The mean just can't help itself!
