Discrepancy at Chesapeake, Israel, Waterloo?

[Tom Line]

Any statistician will tell you that statistics never conclude anything - they are merely interpreted to mean something. You can, generally, argue any point you like if you know how to twist them well enough.

However, in this case, I think it's pretty fair to say you've simply found the tails of the curve. Someone's got to have the highest and lowest scores, after all.
