Sometimes it is the exception - the person who is different - who in some way proves the rule - the usual or average individual - to actually BE average or ordinary.

It has to do with the saying "There's no rules without an exeption"...That's allways the truth. And nsometimes the statement gets more powerful if you reverse the point, by going after the exeptions, you then can prove a rule....

Well....just a thaught....
