Comment:

 I understand how an average number in the graph, probably computed as
 `(high+low)/2`, would feel like a usability improvement. However, we don't
 have a model telling us that that's the most likely number of users. We
 only know that the number cannot be higher than `high` nor lower than
 `low`, but it could be anything between the two. If we had a better model
 for computing an average value, we should plot that. But we cannot plot
 something we don't have. Sorry! Re-closing.
