While I agree that's confusing, I think that's actualyl a problem with
log_duration.

log_duration is really more of an internal trace parameter that should be
named debug_log_duration or something IMO. It also fails to print the
message type, which makes it even more confusing since it for a typical
extended protocl query it usually logs 3 durations with no indication of
which is what.

Users should be using log_min_duration_statement. You know, the confusingly
named one. Or is it log_duration_min_statement or
log_statement_min_duration or ...?

Yeah, log_duration is confusing to the point I think it needs a comment
like "To record query run-time you probably want
log_min_duration_statement, not log_duration".
