I just realised that mean values don't really make sense for numbers that you shouldn't add.
For example, the mean weight of a pumpkin is fine -- you want to know how much 1000 pumpkins weigh, you just take mean x1000. But the mean age of a population? You cannot add the ages, you can't have "the total age of 1000 persons".
