Sorry but talking about characters that don't actually see play that you rolled up on your spare time don't really count.
Okay, here's observational evidence from the table then: of the twenty-odd characters I've seen in actual play over the course of the past year, all of them conformed generally to my expectations for 4d6 drop lowest. I can only think of one offhand who had all stats 12 and under at first level, but that's what you'd expect from 4d6 drop lowest. Twenty characters really isn't a whole lot of data to go on.
