Sure gotta agree with you on that one.  If the FCC rule quote is correct,
then your comment is too.  The FCC quote is a logical inconsistency.  This
is a little nit-picky, but that's what we're doing in this discussion
anyway.  There can't be an average when we're talking about moving time
lines, and one singular point value is taken.
