We were always told to show our working out in school for a reason, to prove we
knew how to derive the answer, and if not to show where we went wrong,
otherwise you can only make assumptions about the final product without any
certainty of how you came to that conclusion.

Which is why I refined my answer in further emails, if someone does have better
than consumer grade kit it's all the more reason for it to end up in the OSM
database to give better averages, rather than have them skewed by less accurate
equipment because of assumptions made by those committing changes without
showing their working out.

GPS chips don't always get HDOP accurate, or they lie.
