Yes, I don't think so.

You are thinking that MAX means maximum ever seen.  It is not, because you
are fetching the data from the AVERAGE.  You are printing the MAX of the
averages, not the MAX of the MAXes.

MAX(  AVERAGE(5,5) , AVERAGE(0,0) )

is different from

MAX(  AVERAGE(5,5,0,0)   )

and that is what you're reasoning fails to compensate for.
