Averaging normals gives a very different effect. The result of the 
averaged normal is a single perturbed normal, which is then used for the 
texturing and lighting calculations. The result is not blurred at all.

An average texture computes the texture for each normal and averages the 
final colors, the antialiasing method just uses normals to generate fine 
detail which is averaged by high antialiasing settings.
