I've also discussed this topic with contributors at rustconf, and some piece of feedback I received was that the noise in the system and false positives that can happen, may also warrant a reword of the very-confident "This is a highly reliable metric" message. This has caused people to investigate regressions that weren't there, but didn't know about these annoying occurrences. This PR already mentions the noise so we may just need to soften the metrics descriptions and fix this at the same time. |

It has been noted several times on Zulip that the current message on regressions is perhaps too aggressive, and does not help contributors enough. It also does not mention the possibility that the found regression is just a false alarm, which does sadly happen quite often.
This PR is an attempt to improve upon that. Let the bike-shedding commence!
