Wrong conclusion. I tried to explain the points but apparently it's a bit too
difficult. In short : If you use a system of statistics you are not allowed to
make your own presentation. The presentation by SSDF is FALSE. That is the
point. False and unallowed. Instead of 1., 2., 3., they should say 1.-3., not
should, but must, if the differences in the actual results are way smaller than
the error in the tests itself. Is that impossible to understand?
