The word average can technically refer to arithmetic mean, median, mode, or range. That’s why you were probably taught them at the same time. That’s also why tests like the ACT tend to have a * at the top that says something along the lines of “Unless otherwise stated, the word average indicates arithmetic mean.”

Are infinitesimally shaved average bones not bones? Idk who is the bone authority responsible for making that decision.

Some people were born with extra fingers, and sometimes entire extra limbs.
My wife has an extra rib above her collarbone.
Plenty of people do. My sister for example had bones in her feet that never fused and had to have an extra removed. I guess that’s pretty common
