Current formMid
In 1835 the Belgian statistician Adolphe Quetelet averaged thousands of human measurements and described the average man. He meant it as an ideal.
In 1950 the US Air Force measured 4,063 pilots on ten body dimensions to fit cockpits to the average one. Not one pilot was average on all ten. Nobody fit the seat.
Two centuries later, average is an insult and mid is a verdict. Wear it anyway. Statistically, it's the rarest thing you can be.
