I am impressed you have the patience to do what I would never have the patience for, to my discredit. I will make a very risky and tentative prediction: Since 200k is the simple mean of 380k and 20k, I will stick my neck out and predict they will find some ludicrously high figure from somewhere (designed specifically to heavily weight any simple average), and then tell you that 200k was not only quite modest but also took into account the low end of 20k :-) A median would be a bit harder to bend with a single high outlier ….
