Interesting topic! Completely agree with Brent!.
I would only add the "quality" of the signal can also contribute to the variation - by that I mean if there is any kind of modulation on the signal then that will contribute to the measurement difficulties. It is also not unusual for a lab to sit on a signal if the signal has a noted time variance (this is from experience).
