"Average" has a very specific meaning. It is one measure of the central value of a set of numbers. There is no disagreement about this. It is clear from this thread, however, that some people do not know how to interpret it and indeed one cannot really interpret it without also having a measure of central tendency (variance, standard deviation) or better yet, knowing the distribution or knowing that the populations being compared are at least similar.I think you are misrepresenting the meaning of the word "average" as actually used in this discussion.
Thus, for example, it might be reasonable to assume that drive length is Weibull distributed and use the mean to determine what percentage of the time charging would exceed x hours as a function of charge rate.
