OK.  Other words, what is potentially removable error is always
statistical error, whether it is sampled or not.

So is it fair to say that if there are some factors that I either do not
know about, willfully choose to ignore or just cannot sample, then I am
underestimating precision of the experiment?  

Cheers,
