Well, the "average investor" freaks out and pulls out of the market at irrational times, which completely throws off the average return.
Yes, if an average investor truly put their money in an index fund and left it alone, they would outperform most investment funds. But that doesn't happen in the real world.

Well, yea. If they invested in a good fund for the long term and do all the things the adviser would do, and didn't have to pay the fee's, then they should win.
However, that is the reason that using an adviser is helpful. It "should" keep them from making those mistakes.
