The arms distribution is an unusual example of a left skewed distribution. Mostly we are thinking of right skewed distributions, where there are lots of observations humped up towards zero, and then they spread out towards infinity, or symmetrical distributions. In the latter two cases the average would be above or equal to the median, so most people would be worse than or equal to the average.
