I assume that we are not operating under an "adversarial situation",
i.e that is mitigated via current FATE mechanics. Then, we can limit
the concerns to issues like the one you desribed.

For this, as an extra goal, one could envision computing some sort of
variance/confidence intervals after sufficiently many runs. This could
also go into the report, so that one could e.g go to FATE and sort by
confidence level in addition to the other fields.
