A norm does not make it a minimum baseline: a norm is something that's prevalent or average.

Not disagreeing with your desire to make that the baseline, just with the terminology :)

The word norm can mean either “prevalent” or “the desired state of things.” So I’m assuming the previous comment was engaging in a bit of wordplay.
