Statistics, lies, whatever.

Every now and then I hear the oft repeated $verylarge% of drivers consider themselves to be above average.  Ha ha, stupid drivers, you suck, you are really bad drivers, you just don't know it or worse don't want to admit it.  After all, being bad is one thing, but being unaware that you are bad, that means you are a general moron as well.

But, if we have a sample of drivers, one rates at a 2, three rate at a 10, the average rating is 3.2.  This would mean that the three scoring at 10, or 75% of the drivers are above average.  Waaaaay above average.

What am I missing here?
