I don't know what's funnier, that you're citing Wiktionary as a source, or that you're suggesting "university level" philosophy courses to a statistician. ;-)

If you're really that interested in pedantry, though, I might suggest Bartleby on the meaning of average as compared with median or mode. HTH, HAND, &c.

In the segment, reporter Phil Shuman investigates so-called "Hacker Gangs" comprised entirely of anonymous users. The segment, which focuses mainly on users at 4chan, 7chan, and 420chan, seems to confuse /b/ raids and motivational poster templates with a genuine threat to the American public. For added FUD, the FOX team inserted an unrelated video of a van blowing up — twice! Presumably, one is intended to equate anonymous posting with domestic terror. The story and video can be found on the local FOX website, so it does not appear to be simply a clever parody."
