Put two philosophers in a room and have them discuss utilitarianism and you'll end up with twenty opinions. Average utilitarianism is just one of its later fallouts. (I needn't tell you how unpopular utilitarianism is with many philosophers and others—especially in this era).
Fact is, the author used the splinter view to further his argument which hasn't worked. Given other weaknesses he would have been better to ignore utilitarianism altogether.
