Topping the battery back up after starting would be a small load, and is essentially repeatable. The large HP drains you're quoting would only be present if you were running many peripherals such as headlights, brake lights, ventilation fans, rear window defogger, etc. As long as the test were done with the same loads on the alternator each time, the difference should be insignificant.
Not a statistician here, but this makes sense to me.
