The passage around this formula
The most durable compression is the F-measure, still standard in information extraction and structured-prediction evaluation: . the harmonic mean of precision P and recall R . The harmonic mean, rather than the arithmetic mean, was the substantive choice: it penalizes a system that trades one quantity away for the other, so a system cannot inflate its score by returning everything (maximizing recall while destroying precision) or almost nothing (the reverse). That is a real methodological assumption — that both errors matter and neither should be free — and it is worth stating plainly because later single-number benchmarks inherited the habit of compression without always…
