So, for example, given the reputed tallness of Watusi (Tutsi), the fact that John, the shortest man on the team, is tall for them is unlikely and indeed that it is his heighth that distinguishes him (rather than the expected ability to herd cattle and kill lions?) is unlikely, as is the fact that he is distinguished among the Tutsi as well as most other tribes.
