Fair. Gauss tried to answer what you can do if there is no square. If you simply don't know what is the "square" of a species heart rate. You can only measure so many samples and draw conclusions. That's why it's normal and not like optimal. I think this is the message people should learn; normal does not mean optimal! Never!

That's a good distinction and I'll take it. For heart rate, measuring the curve is the honest move because nobody handed us the square. Character is different. On loving your family, keeping your word and helping your neighbor, people have been measuring for thousands of years and the square holds up pretty well. So you're right that the curve's normal never meant optimal. The older normal did, and that's the one I'm trying to pick back up.
