  5) Sufficient total fuel/air charge of sufficiently uniform distribution so that the natural statistical variation in burn times is minimized....

BUT even when you  achieve ALL of the above, by virtue of the fact that
the ignition AND combustion processes are non-deterministic, a population of
peak pressure values, collected in continuous real time on A SINGLE CYLINDER,
will have a skewed statistical distribution (don't remember the type; see
writings of Paul Puzinauskas). ie, not the same from cycle to cycle even in the same cylinder.<<


I think that is what number 5), above, was meant to address.
