I agree. In general though, I have not had any trouble finding people who share my interpretation of GURPS because I am the one usually teaching them GURPS for the first time. Since I tend to start them at 250-500 CP (and these are usually campaigns without superhuman abilities), they learn to appreciate what it means to be exceptional in GURPS. I have never had players ask to play a 25 point character because that is the average point value of a 5 year old child in my campaigns (the average person on the street can easily be 250 points in my games, they just have average attributes and most of their points in social advantages and trivial or work skills, like most people do in my experience).
