Exactly what I suggested as well. I don't understand why people
absolutely want to use averages and throw away outliers based on average
calculations. Maybe because the concept of "mean" is easier to grasp
than the concept of "median". A median solves all these problems of data
having outliers with less math and better accuracy.

Agreed.
