I think that any pressure quote without a statement of the measurement and calculation methods used to derive the answer is only half an answer, as in order get there, a user has to assume stuff. Did they use a SAAMI standard pressure gun set up? Piezo crushers? How many trials? How many samples per trial?
The numbers must actually represent the central tendency of a range of values... unless they are just the products of calculation, as Bosands suggests. If the pressure data is merely calculated, then they should fess up. I can calculate a curve based on three or 4 data points, and then faired and have a reasonable approximation, but its not the same as a pressure reading.
