So I did the math on these, an fio is on (or really close) to the 
expected deviation for random outcomes.

The first two of the block sizes (didn't check more):

 >   Found 4.00492979052% 512

3.99387% to 4.00612% would be in the range.

 > Found 1.00495658073% 1024

0.9938778% to 1.00612% would be in the range.

For the access location:

 >   Found 49.9895734086% 0-5%

49.98955% to 50.01044% would be in the range.

 >   Found 30.0126463513% 5-20%%

29.98955% to 30.01044% would be in the range.

 >   Found 19.99778024% 20-100%

19.98955% to 20.01044% would be in the range.

So while the deviations from the specified does seem larger than 
intuition would lead you to believe, it's actually really close. I think 
we can call this one closed.
