Why would anyone want to know the center of a cluster anyway?

Well, here's one example: One approach for constructing an RBF neural network
for classification problems (with a categorical target variable) involves
initially creating a Gaussian kernel for each target category.

If your variable is categorical, where did the Gaussian nonsense come
from?

That is sufficient to prove the gobbledy gook you neural network
classifiers are injecting into a problem of which you know NOTHING.
