Well not really. I think it's a bit unfair to the average physicist to say that he's closer in intelligence to the village idiot than to Einstein, don't you think...? Hence the average phycisist should be much further to the right on your scale. Thus zooming in rather illustrates what I wanted to say - that productivity increases massively beyond a certain level of ability.
The average physicist's contribution to physics is closer to the village idiot's contribution than to Einstein's, no?
Depends on whether you use a log scale.
And if you count teaching as a contribution.
It depends on whether you only count theoretical physicists or also experimental physicists in the average.
