The abstract definition that I learnt at uni even covers the two extreme cases of min() and max(). yes Alex, definitely all depends after the data we want treat and after the problem type. That said, the Prime has already good instruments to handle Statistics. Perhaps it is missed only geometric mean, that in some cases is more adequate than other types or of the median. It is not a great problem as we can make it with a little program; my friend would like only to have it as a command; I tried to help him with a program that acts like a command, so he can experiment among the various types and I'll suggest him also your right considerations about the correct use of means.
