True-ish, but nor is smoothed_rtt a mean. And now you have a variable with a name that bears no semblance to the concept you use to describe it. You could instead play apologist and explain that this isn't a variance in the statistical sense, but variance in a purely colloquial sense. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
