A response from Dr. Tom Pullum:
Quote:

Suppose some variable you are interested in had only been collected in, say, a survey with 1000 cases in Peru in 1990 and a survey with 5000 cases in Kenya in 2010. Would you combine them into a single file with 6000 cases and calculate the mean of the variable? Would that mean be interpretable?
