I’m picturing the math as a very large set of bell curves where most people fall somewhere in the middle, but each person is likely to be an outlier on at least one.

I don’t have an answer to your question, but a recent radiolab was dealing with this sort of stuff. Maybe you’d be interested, it might be a bit too casual for your liking, not exactly a deep mathematics podcast.

Thanks for the rec! Not a mathematician and happy to ingest food for thought npr style.
You’re welcome, I bet you’ll like it. There was actually another math one a couple weeks ago called zeroworld, it’s about dividing by zero and stuff.
