That sound strange to me: a "variable" is something that vary... mean does not vary. maen will ge an argument that is a line of x and will make some calculous on it, that is the comportement of a function. Of course, mean is an argument of an other function, but I do not think this is a reason good enouth to say that mean is a variable.
Furthemore, I use findGlobals to detect some typo. In f <- function(myObject){return(mObject^2)} findGlobals will detect that mObject is a global so I know there is a typo somewhere. Considering mean as a globals do not let us use findGlobals this way.
