Nevertheless, "99.9%" bioequivalence isn't far off from 96.5%, but there's always people out there who'll take that 3.5% average (meaning there is a likelihood of variance) and run with it.

Well, this is where precision and accuracy come into play as two separate things to be concerned about with quality control. Sure, the average may be on the mark, but if their precision is poor that could result in a large variation between dosages. I imagine for medicines where you're supposed to keep a fairly level amount in your system this could matter if you, say, get a batch that's at the 80% level and then your next refill is at the 125% level. If you're taking two pills a day, your prescription pretty much went up by over 50%.

Still makes me laugh when people say that only a certain brand of pain killer works for them since they are literally all exactly the same thing.

Not sure if you're talking about, like, Advil versus Tylenol, but they are pretty different since they have different active ingredients in them.
I was speaking idiomatically.
