    yes, but unless you have really small periods it's still very unlikely
    that they synchronize, so it will only happen very rarely. And the
    rare cases won't affect the statistics very much.

    Even with multi-pebs the min period is 1000, which is several
    orders of magnitude larger than the typical window.
