do resolution changes effectively average data ?

GRASS resamples based on the value of the center cell. If there is no center
cell (as in your example), it would take the value of the upper-left cell
out of the center four, *not* the upper-left cell of the 10 x 10 block.

Not a great explanation; I hope it makes sense!
