Solution
"margin of error" means the same thing it does everywhere else.
A test or benchmark that says you will get 100fps in this game, with this hardware, and these settings...+- 5%...
Means that you personally might get 95, you might get 105. But if you can only get 95fps, that's close enough.
"OMG! They said I would get 100FPS and I only get 96! There is something wrong with my system!!!"
Yes, people freak out like this...

Margin of Error - 'a small amount that is allowed for in case of miscalculation or change of circumstances'
I have heard it explained as those slight differences or variances that occur during otherwise 'controlled' testing due to background process in Windows running (or not as the case may be). There may be other factors causing this.
