Correct. The average could be closer to the high end of the range. If that were the case there would be no advantage to post a range. You'd want the focus to be on the higher number, and not how low the range goes (in other words, you wouldn't need to "hype-up" the number).

On the contrary, if the average number stunk, it would be advantageous to portray a range in order to give the optics of a potentially higher number.

It is my belief this is why Mexus portrays "averages" in the way they do. To mask how low the legitimate average number really is. It's not illegal , but it's not forthright either.
