I'm no expert in fluid dynamics, but it doesn't seem like it would average
out. To me it seems like it would dampen biased towards the fork with the
10 weight, and the fork with the 5 weight is just going to go along for the
ride, not really contributing much. I've also heard that the forks should
always be filled with the same amount of the same type of fluid because
they are meant to work together identically. Otherwise you can induce extra
stiction because they aren't reacting together as a unit.
