I mean, that's what price averaging is: people pushing and pulling prices to what they think the item is or want the item to be valued at. No one is forcing anyone to read the price averages - no one is deeming the site an authority on prices. And if it is, that's because it's accurate. You guys sitting here waxing conspiratorial about this big AH price mafia is just hilarious.
My experience has been the absolute, unequivocal opposite - because of the AH I spent less time in EC, I sold more stuff with less effort, and I dealt with less hagglers. In fact, the general tone in the tunnel as of late seems more friendly than I've ever seen it.
Maybe the AH doesn't suit your tunnelstyle. Maybe it's polarizing in some way - maybe it caters to a certain kind of tunneler and frustrates others. Either way, I have nothing but contempt for people saying it's detrimental to the server. That's a level of paranoia and masochism that goes far beyond saying it's imperfect.
