I don't understand that. The flatten operation is independent of the 
specific aggregation - it doesn't remove non-numbers:

[[
Definition: Flatten

The Flatten(M) function takes a multiset of lists, M {(L1, L2, ...), 
...}, and returns the multiset given by the multiset union of { Li | L 
in M } for all i in L.
]]

Could be changed to take a condition on the members produced.

Avg() works if Sum() does.
