It is a very common error to think that it doesn't matter at what point they take an average, and completely fail to notice that the answer they get is unreasonable. I think you would get a decent amount of people who know that the distance can't be negative and yet are happy with an argument that the average is 0, not realising that would imply it is always 0. | |
