[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that “big fish” is a relative term. A true big fish is outside the bounds of the empirical rule and 4 or more standard deviations above the mean. They stand out irrespective of the size of the pond. So at a typical university they will have no peers, while at an elite university they could, best case, have a few peers. [/quote]
