For , a sufficient bias choice is

The conservative band estimate

can be used without a numerical transmission table.

The existence assertion is not arbitrary accuracy on fixed hardware. A maximum capture rate, restricted bandwidth, fixed temperature, fixed storage loss, or irreducible assignment error may prevent the stated parameter choices. A nonzero lower bound on the certificate budget prevents that certificate from proving arbitrary accuracy; it is not, by itself, a lower bound on the actual statistical error, which can exhibit cancellations.

For convergence of the displayed mean certificates as grows, one needs , not merely a small fixed record error.
