It's not about how the numbers in a file in the format are created. "Measurement" is one way we can create the file. Other ways to create the file are: * "copy" self-reported bandwidths from relay descriptors into the required format (the naive, pre-bandwidth scanner method) * "aggregate" bandwidths passively observed by other relays into the required format (the peerflow method) * assign all relays equal bandwidths (the fallback method in Appendix B) So let's try to keep "relay measurement" and "relay bandwidths" as separate concepts.
