Until now, we did not have a section explaining the difference between the
standard deviation and the error, and sometimes this causes confusion.

In the commit below, I added a small section explaining this in a clear and
short way. I hope this solve some confusions. Please feel free to change and
discuss anything you may think it is necessary. I would also ensure that what
it is explained in the section is true. I.e., std measurements are performed
directly on the inputs while errors came from the STD datasets.
