  The question of what is genuinely quantum about weak values is only ever
going to elicit strongly subjective opinions---it is not a scientific question.
Good questions, when comparing theories, are operational---they deal with the
unquestionable outcomes of experiment. We give the anomalous shift of weak
values an objective meaning through a generalization to an operational
definition of anomalous post-selected averages. We show the presence of these
averages necessitate correlations in every model giving rise to them---quantum
or classical. Characterizing such correlations shows that they are ubiquitous.
We present the simplest classical example without the need of disturbance
realizing these generalized anomalous weak values.
