Lol, we are getting close. The term 'by chance' is used to indicate that diference in performance could occur from something that is not attributable to the cars actual capabilities.
I.e. Lets say your car does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds consistently, but on your last launch your foot slipped and you recorded a time of 5.0 seconds 0-60...
Does this mean your car is no longer a 4.3 second car? No, your car is still a 4.3 second car. The 5 second time occurred by chance circumstance aka your foot slipping.

The idea is that the difference of 2ms can be attributed to these kind of chance circumstances.

Noooooo no no no haha, this is precisely the point - even if the m3 zcp finished 2ms ahead of the m2c, the resulting interpretation would still be the same: not enough evidence to conclude that one is faster than the other (!)
