because they know they're vaguely supposed to do a run multiple times, and maybe average the results or something.
Taking the minimum of multiple runs is often better than the average.
That's what programmers really should know about statistics. And if you don't think this applies to you, then take both average and minimum for your usual number of runs. Repeat 10 times and check which number is more stable (that is, has the smaller variance).
