here's an example of statistics that use the term "average" when they are reporting the median:

>Average Income by State

>According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income for 2019 was $65,712. M

>Mean is less likely to be misunderstood for another meaning than average,

this is just insane to me. fucking nuts of an assertion, i have no idea where you're getting this idea.

>Mean and average are synonymous. He was precise and correct in his terminology.

No, he wasn't precise and it isn't synonymous.

First words from the wiki:

>In ordinary language, an average is ...

Ordinary language, as used by the wiki, means "colloquially", which is not precise mathematical/statistical/scientific language.

Later in the wiki entry, we have this:

>Depending on the context, an average might be another statistic such as the median, or mode.

...which blows your assertion of the precision out of the water.

*mean

not median, mode, or geometric mean

edit: apparently all the reddit aspies don't like precison in language anymore

as we all know, cheetahs never prosper.

holy shit, all i meant was that when people say "think of the children" they are doing so under the guise of the childrens' well-being (whether or not they are genuine, or whether or not their assertions would actually help kids).

your "well they did think of the kids" is about as helpful as the "don't call him a [denegrating name] because it gives [denegrating name] a bad name" comments.

you know when people say "think of the children", you know they mean their well-being, right?

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
