   Thank you for submitting the requested changes.  But there is a remaining 
problem with the Javadocs:
   The new class Javadoc says the rule “makes the result of a merge independent 
of the order of the input.” That overstates the solution in the same way that 
was corrected in 
[apache/datasketches-java#780](https://github.com/apache/datasketches-java/issues/780).
 
   
   What we need is more clarity: something like:
   "...ordered by mean ascending and then, for equal means, by weight 
ascending. This makes each merge independent of how the centroids are arranged 
before sorting, so that the same sequence of updates and merges always produces 
the same sketch. It does not make the sketch independent of the order of the 
input values."
   
   If you could please make this clarification, I will approve.
   Thanks!
