Your statement: "there are too many uncontrolled variables to allow a narrower tolerance." is, in my opinion, exactly the issue.

Accredited labs are required to calculate and express their measurement uncertainty. This is generally near plus or minus 4-5 dB. I expect that many of the folks on this forum will have noticed that the uncertainty with respect to EUT setup is far greater. I was the benefactor of a free trip to South Korea, only to find the measurement delta was caused by the length of a DC power feed from one site to another.

I had many folks tell me "EMC is Black Magic". It only seems that way when we can't wrap our arms around all the variables!
