Well this is just one little opinion:

There is no way that it is realistic to get a valid number out of a NaN
or a group of NaNs.  It can only be NaN.  It's like a place from which there is
no return.  Maybe we should define a new type called "Useless" so that people
understand what a NaN is. :)

Returning anything else would mask that the array was all NaNs and give a false
sense that all is OK, when its not.
