Does anybody know why Blockchain.info gives inconsistent results for their 24 Hour Average price in US Dollars?

Example:
(A) http://blockchain.info/q/24hrprice currently shows $21.0
(B) http://blockchain.info/ticker currently shows $20.36


I see that the simple Javascript lookup, www.btcbal.com , uses the first one, which seems to run high lately.

From documentation:

(A) says:   24hrprice - 24 hour weighted price from Mt.gox and tradehill
(From http://blockchain.info/q/ )

(B) says:   Returns a JSON object with the currency codes as keys. "15m" is the 15 minutes delayed market price, "24h" is the 24 hour average market price, "symbol" is the currency symbol.
(From http://blockchain.info/api/charts_api )


Could the tradehill data be messing up the first one?
