What is the "long term"?

I'm relatively content (but always looking for improvements)
with FAQ #7:

7. What is the long term? - Theoretically speaking, the
long term is forever. For video poker purposes, the long term
is when you have played a lot of hands (several million at a
minimum) and actual results are about the same as expected
results. TomSki calculates (with a 95% confidence factor) that
the actual results for 10/7 DB, played with perfect strategy,
should be within 1.0% of expected results after 1,085,465
hands, and within 0.1% after 108,546,482 hands.
