That won't work, because arithmetic-average won't get passed the
entire list of scores, but the score of the parent and its sub-threads:
---
gnus-thread-score-function's value is +
Documentation:
*Function used for calculating the total score of a thread.
The function is called with the scores of the article and each
subthread and should then return the score of the thread.

This means that if there is a subthread of 20 articles averaging
5 (total 100), a subthread of 2 articles averaging 50 (100), and a
parent of 100, arithmetic-average would return 32 instead of 13.
