I think we're having a semantic-fest here. Steve says an adjective
isn't "needed" but can help if there may be confusion.

Well, if it helps avoid confusion, isn't it "needed". Or is confusion
ok?

Oh, I suppose, but I maintain this is something you determine within the
discussion, then move on to cover the important aspects of the issue at
hand. After moving on, you won't have to keep saying "Average Power' (or
whatever is decided upon) each time you want to refer to it. You will just
need to say "power", since you have defined the term. This is a
semantic-fest, rather than a discussion of how to determine power. I've
been in many, many discussions, where once the subject is defined, the word
"power" is used repeatedly, never with any adjectives and no one had any
problems.

You guys are too tied up in what is "official". It is what is in common
usage that matters. define your terms and move on.
