I agree with this, minus the average part. A hero has done something to pull himself from the grist of society--which, here, need not signify nationstates proper, but any social groupling, I suppose. A hero's special, and so gets respect, reverence, etc. It's a culturally relative thing, but not completey: being a hero is one's one mind does not make one a hero, or even in three peoples' minds. What's the number that makes the difference? Who knows, but it must be a significant amount.
