Rather, averaging is a good tool when applied right. In the field of time and frequency, it can be tricker to apply it right, as it does not always do what you expect it to do.
When we collect our stability measures for instance, we average only after we have done pre-processing tailored to handling the obscure noises we have that would otherwise make our averaging blow-up in our faces. So, like any tool, it needs to be applied with proper knowledge.
