I get what you're saying here. 
I didn't read the original that closely, and so I 
was thinking in terms of a point on a plane or 
a point inside a 3-dimensional body, which got me 
thinking along the lines of center-of-mass, 
center-of-gravity, etc. 

Gene's centroid sounded right.

Geographic center? 

When making ASCII drawings, it pays to draw your 
original in a monospaced font, as Steve did.
