I was having a little fun with the survey. I expect that there's more than a little halo effect when it comes to one's SAC rate anyway.
If we really want to know what an average is, I can all up all those dives and all those SACs and find an average... It doesn't really tell us anything though, if they aren't internally consistent; that is, consistent with themselves. My average SAC is only internally consistent when it's measured against the environment and stressors - I suspect that this is generally true among most people.
Think of it this way: if it's 70 in Florida, you'll find people wearing winter clothing. It feels cold to them. A few years ago, I was in Atlanta during a snowstorm. I saw two people outside, walking along in shorts and tank tops. They didn't look distressed, and I assume that the Canadian passports they held were indicative of what cold feels like to them.
Diving is the same. I was showing a friend who teaching in Mexico, video from a dive I'd done in 16C/61F water. He was flabbergasted that I wasn't wearing gloves and a hood. . . I've trained folks with hundreds of dives in the Caribbean, good divers, who had a constant stream of bubbles going to the surface due to the cold. Everything's relative. I can't match the SAC rate of a recreational DM with 5000 dives in warm water, when (s)he's at home, but they can't match my SAC in chilly waters.
And don't get me started on median vs. mode please
