Hi, I was *very* surprised by this little trick for new players: mean() only considers its first argument!
> mean(1,1,2) [1] 1 > mean(2,1,1) [1] 2 I found this very different behaviour to max(): > max(1,1,2) [1] 2 > max(2,1,1) [1] 2 Perhaps this is the wrong list to ask, but does anyone else think this a little on the interesting side? Is it not possible to detect a first argument of length one in the presence of other un-named arguments and at least produce a warning?
