I prefer median over mean in almost all situations, but you have a point there. However, these issues become less relevant after stratification by age group. I will wait with further analysis of mortality in Germany until we have reliable data for the first half of 2023.

Hagemann's video is also here, right?

I have never liked nor understood Destatis' choice of using the median value. You present an interesting exploration of the implications and I like the thought experiment.
