I think some basic math knowledge would help more, if every company paid at the 95th percentile then it wouldn't be the 95th percentile, it would in fact be the average. But no, these distributions are not flat like that, there is a large spread and "by definition" of the 95th percentile only a few companies pay at that rate.
