Hi, but I meant allegory indeed.

According to Wiktionary:

- (rhetoric) A narrative in which a character, place, or event is used to deliver a broader message about real-world issues and occurrences.

- A picture, book, or other form of communication using such representation.

- A symbolic representation which can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, usually a moral or political one.

He might have been triggered by my use of "average". I realize it now that it may not have been adequate, sorry for that, English is not my first language.



My bad, my dyslexia and reacting to less-than polite comment got best of me :)
