And, yes, I know that the whole slowly raising the temp of water the frog is in thingee...has been disproven.  But it's a useful meme,  sort of like Awfulness Meters always point at Berkeley.
But where true awfulness shocks and arouses emotions,  most times repeated mediocrity slowly anesthetizes.  Having no clear-cut victories to savor and relive,  mediocrity invites forensic statistic dissection,  seeking some sort of facts that can somehow make us feel better.  And the worst mediocrity provides enough statistical numbness that we'll tolerate it until the next required round of statistical justification.
