muddiest point week 11

This may not be a muddiest point, per se, but it humors me anyway. I know I discussed this in my thoughts on the articles, but I still have to laugh when averages are given for things in decimals. I get that when you take a group of numbers and find the average that there is the possibility of getting a decimal answer. But really, 2.5 kids? 2.3 words? I mean, in that case, shouldn't you just round up or down, depending on the decimal??? Really, what is a half a kid, or what is three-tenths of a word?
