[yt-users] chemical species abundances discrepancy

[Britton Smith]

The reason the answers are getting closer together when you add more bins
is that you are decreasing the number of points in each bin, and as you do
that the difference between
mean(f * g) and mean(f) * mean(g) will get smaller, though it will not be
identical until you have exactly one cell in each bin.
