    Thank you for the clarification. Actually, I did not think you were attacking or criticising my blog post. I was only attempting to have a conversation about why we get the same number using both methods: average and rounding off. I found that interesting and wanted to share it. Thank you for commenting on this thread. It was interesting to see this topic from a different perspective and realize that the result of 52 minutes 35.7 seconds holds good both as an average as well as rounded-off values.

    I agree and I do mention something to that effect at the end of the blog post:

    Conclusion

    A microcentury is very close to 52 minutes 35.7 seconds long.

    Did you see that section? I don't talk about average like you do. Your point about average is a great point. It just didn't occur to me while writing the post. But I did see that in both cases the length of a microcentury is 52 minutes 35.7 seconds when we round off the number of seconds to one decimal place. So whether we average or not, we come to the same conclusion, don't we?

    Yes, indeed. Since the length of a microcentury is very close to 52 minutes 35.7 seconds in both cases, the average also works out to be very close to the same length.
