Although, if that's really how it's being calculated, then that's not really the centroid. Consider for example adding an extra redundant point to one side of a square: polygon '((-1,-1),(-1,0),(-1,1),(1,1),(1,-1))') that will shift the average X position over to the left, but the centroid is still at (0,0).
