It is shocking to me that such an esteemed institution as [AC]RC would get John Wentworth’s surname wrong in an announcement post. Clearly this is proof that their staff has no time to spare for proofreading. This must mean they are currently starved for funding and they need significantly more than the modest sum of $50M they are asking for.
To the mean discussion, I’ll contribute by proposing the harmonic mean 2/(1/1+1/2)=4/3 as an alternative point of compromise. I don’t know if the harmonic mean has any desirable properties but the name sounds more prestigious compared to the arithmetic or geometric means, and as such is probably the good choice for fundraising advertisement purposes.

Clearly John’s preference is to have exactly two hoses attached to the “W”(indow) … making both your spelling (with 0 hoses) and the [AC]RC spelling (with just one hose) weirdly confrontational.
As the difference between 0 hoses and 1 hose is big and the difference between one hose and two hoses is much smaller, clearly hose scaling will have to be exponential. So if we take a mean, we should do it in logspace.
