How to use the driver parameter RangeMeanMilliMeter for VL53L3CX ranging?

Hello everyone,
Recently I tried to use VL53L3CX to accomplish a distance calculating project. When referencing the document of VL53L3CX I found a little strange about the distance parameter.
For example, the note of ranging capabilities table in the datasheet DS13204, shows that "The ranging distances reported are the ones reported by the driver by the parameter called RangeMilliMeter". While in the application note AN5561, it shows that "The ranging distances in the table below are those reported by the driver by the parameter called RangeMeanMilliMeter."
What I confused is: inside the API(VL53L3CX_BareDriver_1.2.10), I could not find the driver parameter named "RangeMeanMilliMeter".While "RangeMilliMeter" could be found in the structure VL53L3_RangingMeasurementData_t. So if there has any difference between these two parameters? If yes, how to use the parameter RangeMilliMeter and what's its definition? Thanks.
