I think you may have a good idea, but it isn't exactly the way I interpreted this.
One way to look at looking at all the normal reactions, is to look at all the ways something can happen in a situation. Ruminate about an environment where something mundane is happening. That mundane thing may be something different to you than it is to me, but they are both still mundane. IN that same way, something normal can be happening in a place that a few other normal things may.
I hope I helped and am not just rambling here.
"The brain is lazy and loves to take shortcuts" I can understand your review. Base on the book sometimes we feel tired and sometimes we don't feel like doing something that could make us tired. But the contrast about working the brain in three system and not working does not make sense. When we are doing something that helps the brain it could definitely help.

Could anyone explain what point the quote, “When we survey the reaction to these products, let’s make sure we don’t focus exclusively on the average. We should consider the entire range of normal reactions.” is referring to and where in the chapter/book it talks about it? I understand the other 2 quotes at the end of the chapter but not this one.
One idea I have is that it is related to the survey that Moses built the Ark, which the average is most people got it wrong. (pg 76) But the right answer is Noah. In this case, focusing on a range of normal reactions might point out that the average of Moses might not be right but that people stating that it is Noah are.
I'm grasping here. Any help would be appreciated.
