A Note on the Accuracy and Reliability of Timing Results

There is always going to be an unknown margin of error in any method of timing, and I estimate that each timing event could be off by as much as 0.1 second (though in practice I believe my results to be somewhat better than this). As a consequence of this potential margin of error, results over short periods of time are unreliable. Ultimately, the only result that matters is that which comes at the end of a full 365 days. Where interim results show consistent timings or steady trends, however, then it is safe to assume that those results are fairly accurate.
