That is correct. We should include only the specimens published in per review documents or at least confirmed via personalls communications with evidence that the information is correct. However, you can check that now some people in other forums are using every single weight available (even ridiculous figures from litterature that no one quote or accept) because they want to increase the body masses and that is why in order to be fair we included those from personal communications too.

Certainly we are in a "game" of atavic people that prefer high figures instead of accuracy. That is why I have a "popular" average and a "accurate" average. You will see them soon. Reply
