No, my analogy was University bell-curve grading, where the pass/fail mark is not static. Your place above/below the average is dependent on the state of everyone else's place. I posted that as an analogy to get more discussion, but when I talk about it more, an archetypal/baseline game to compare others to would be a good idea.

you are comparing 2 different things. A bell curve placed on an objective test and a score that is completely subjective. For instance I have never seen a bell curve used on Research paper grades.
