Huh. So yeah, I looked back in my own history and this has been there
forever. I'm guessing I was intending to average the two samples and
then due to reasons I can't remember decided to just use the first in
the short-term for some debugging (with the second assignment) and
committed both.
I think it should be safe, because if the freq values are not the same
the test will return SKIP, so it's unlikely changing this would cause
new test failures.

Thanks for noticing this and sending this out!
