  15. Having joined this in midstream, I risk repeating some information.  If
  16. so, my apologies in advance.  A discussion of this, and an offered proof
  17. of the geometric mean as preferred method is in the March 1986 issue of 
  18. Communications of the ACM, "How Not to Lie With Statistics: The Correct
  19. Way to Summarize Benchmark Results," by Fleming and Wallace.
