Yeah, that's the next step. I thought it wouldn't matter since all I care about is the relative values of the Bayesian average (all due respect to the Bayesian people and their culture), not the Bayesian average itself (on Wikipedia it says: "In cases where the averages' relative values are the only result of importance, m can be replaced with zero."), but I'll fix the formula and see what happens.
