The average is not good, the average knowledge is pretty poor in my opinion. With a lot of average/mediocre/poor skills, you will not get far.

I'd agree with this, but I sort of automatically translated this to an average among a subset who are above some really low threshold. Literal average is a pretty low bar, as you pointed out, but I still think the point gets across. Perhaps "solid" is a better word than average.
