Mean power = rms voltage times rms current.

I think you are over simplifying things, isn't the phase angle of the
voltage and current important in power calculations?

Power is often
erroneously quoted as rms. Consider P = current squared
times resistance...if you square a square root you don't end
up with a square root.

Did anyone say you do? You clearly end up with the original number
after squaring a square root.
