Maybe I'm just tired from a long weekend, but I don't think I can do that... 

Your post is now live.

However, I don't agree.  Here is my response.
The median will never be close to the average for microstock photographers income.  The income breakdown is on a long tail curve, not a bell curve.  If we have 10 microstockers, their incomes would look like (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 10, 20, 40, 100)  The median of that range is 1.5, the avg is 7..   I acknowledge that there are probably some bogus numbers in the survey but the overall majority are valid.  I also think it is dangerous to start picking out certain answers saying they simply can't be true, simply because they don't fall along a certain curve.

Take a look at PhotoDune's top selling authors. http://photodune.net/author/top_authors.  Everyone with 1000 plus sales has 7000+ images.. some 19,000 images, then comes solarseven with 246 images and just as many sales.  Would his stats look out of place if he was answering the poll?  Or take a look at the iStock charts and sort by downloads.  http://istockcharts.multimedia.de/  Most people with top sales have thousands (4,000-16,000) of files, Yet the artist in 16th spot, out of 38,000 members has only 774 files.  Just becomes someone doesn't fall on the curve doesn't mean they answered the survey with bogus numbers.
