Oh nice, it's even better to have different articles to explain the
problem of using the minimum ;-) It added it to my doc.

Ah? In which cases do you prefer to use the minimum? Are you able to
get reliable benchmark results when using the minimum?

I'm good to copy/paste code, but less to compute statistics :-) Would
be interesed to write a pull request, or at least to send me a
function computing the expected value?
