Yeah, cool, welcome to statistics and distibuting results to the gen pop. The basic values of mean, median, and mode can skew perception by themselves. I ask, would you agree to walk across an ocean with an average depth of 2ft? Because, statistically it's fine, but it'd be a 99% death rate

Also there's no guarantee 6/10 is above the mean in a subjective dataset.

He could be the lowest ranked out of 1000 while the mean rating is 7.8

Yes, we would need to know all of the ratings of this dick-rating person to see where the mean and median are. We could then also calculate the standard error to see if this man's phallus is below average, about average or a top cock.
