  Only if the average is exactly equal to the median.

  No, but if you compliment the dumb ones they will work harder for the same amount. Making average common makes business easier.

  Median is a form of average.

  Statisticians and smarter people, please correct me if I am wrong since my only experience is one statistics class in college, but this could be true if you have a lot of extreme outliers on the lower end than the upper end.

  Averages are just that - an average. If you have 1000 people and 750 of them have IQs below 60 and the rest have “normal” IQs, then your average will skew to the lower IQs. I would wager median and mode would be better for this kind of stuff.
