If your domain has 2 cells, a large one where the error is 0 and small one where the error is one, your average error will be 0.5 which is not true.

Your average value is between 0 and the the maximum value, so why is that a problem? The maximum error is only at a few points at the boundary, most of the domain has an error much smaller than the maximum. What is the error in the blue zone?
