With apparently nothing better to do this week, for the hledger fan blog I dreamed up some impossible reasons why the aregister command didn't work with the --average flag. (Note that the hledger code has been modified so that these two now work together.) So, if you need to read a bit of absurdity with an hledger theme, please check out this week's post at [Totally implausible explanations – A User's view of Hledger](https://hledgerfan.com/totally-implausible-explanations/) .
