Abstract:	Some authors claim that reporting the best result obtained by a stochastic algorithm in a number of runs is more meaningful than reporting some central statistic. In this short note, we analyze and refute the main argument brought in favor of this statement.

Keywords:	Assessment of performance Experimental methodology Stochastic algorithms Metaheuristics
