// - It is also multiplied by engine optimization
// - I.e. running a task more tends to make it fast
// - This is also dependent on time
// The statistical variation only applies to the duration of the task itself,
// not to the environment variation nor engine optimization
// - I.e. computing the margin of errors without `envDev` is inaccurate
// - Also, lowering the statistical margin of error does not reduce the
// environment variation nor engine optimization in itself.
// - However, a higher sample size does help by:
// - Aggregating more different environment performance profiles together
// into a single distribution.
// - Making unoptimized measures be a smaller percentage of the whole array
// Due to each of those being roughly normal, the resulting distribution tends
// to be lognormal.
// The environment variation can have many causes:
