No, I actually think it makes tons of sense. If only because we really don't have any better guesses (just zeroing it is worse than guessing it will behave similarly).
One thing that _may_ make sense is to decide that when we "execve()" our behaviour changes, and as such avg_slice might be different. However, I again do not see that zeroing it is the right answer. I don't know what the right answer is, but I bet that leaving it alone is likely to be "more correct" than most other answers.
