Actually, though

Take five solves, drop the fastest and the slowest, and average the middle three.

Dropping the extremes is meant to remove flukes, but five solves is short enough that one easy scramble can still carry the whole thing. This is why nobody fully believes an Ao5 — including the person who got it.
