How do we distinguish normal (as opposed to abnormal, which indicates
something's wrong) from average (mean, median, mode)? Which is cnano? My
average reliability figures, because of floods, have recently been quite
abnormal!

Well, now that that is decided -- {cnano} for empirical/statistical notions and {fadni} for (dare I say it) normative ones -- what is the next question?  How to tell mean from median from mode from....?  And which one gets (pace &) {lo'e}?
