Rules as written clearly state that Adventurer's can only have ability scores as high 20 at character creation. I don't have a Player's Handbook handy but I can look up the page number and post it later if someone else does not.
If you're talking about page 173 of the PHB:
2nd Paragraph of Ability Scores and Modifiers Section of Chapter 7: Using Ability Scores said:A score of 10 or 11 is the normal human average, but adventurers and many monsters are a cut above average in most abilities. A score of 18 is the highest that a person usually reaches. Adventurers can have scores as high as 20, and monsters and divine beings can have scores as high as 30.
Then I'm going to have to disagree. Otherwise, I guess I'll wait.
