The point is, the total time up and downstream, 
and therefore the average speed  as well, 
depends on the stream speed.

The same as for the  supposed aether stream speed in the MMX.

As the average speed along the same distance
 is not an arithmetic mean of one way speeds, 
but a harmonic mean v=2/(1/v1+1/v2). 

This means, 
with the same arithmetic mean of both speeds, 
their harmonic mean 
gets lower with growing difference
of the one way speeds.
