The exact measurements at Ansell were 5.877 average length and 4.972 average girth. So obviously they are using very specific measurements instead of rounding to the nearest quarter-inch. If you look at the median size for both length and girth, you see that the most frequent size is actually lower than the average. So I guess there are either more who are slightly above average than below average, a few big boys pulling up the average, or that it's more likely you'll run across a monster cock before a micro-penis.
Lastly, from what I've heard, the Ansell/Lifestyle Condom Cancun study was done non-bone pressed from the top by multiple medical staff, with scantily clad beautiful women acting as pseudo-fluffers to ensure maximum erection for those who were able to get it up. Though a major flaw that is unavoidable outside of making it mandatory for all men to be measured professionally under the same circumstances, is that men who think they got something to show are much more likely to agree to be measured. Granted the Ansell was done at Spring Break so the guys were probably at least a little loosened up if not flat out wasted. Still I know I wouldn't feel comfortable being measured unless I was huge, even then maybe not. I am above average in both regards and wouldn't even consider doing such a thing no matter how wasted I was. But I'm kind of shy, that's why I have no pictures yet. I'm working up to it.
Someone once posted on LPSG a chart where women were asked as many questions about there lover (only after they could say they accurately measured their guy from the top non-bone pressed). They were then asked to compare it to as many objects as possible and various other questions until they were fed up. So some answered more than others. I'm assuming this was done over the telephone, but I don't know. So here even the small guys couldn't hide, because their stats were volunteered up for them. According to this study the average non-bone pressed erect tength from the top is 5.1 inches. I forget the girth, I wanna say 4.7, but I am positive about the length. Of course these women could have still measured wrong, done it on a day when there man wasn't at his best, or any other variables. Once you learn to accurately judge porn stars real size, I wouldn't be surprised if the average was 5.1, but I still go by Ansell since that was done medically.
To the OP, I think what you're doing is more valuable to others than you may even realize. I am very glad you have decided to share this journey with us and appreciate that you keep informing us of your progress. Good luck to you. Hopefully you will hit your goal sooner than you expected.
