Are you asking are systematic errors "priced-in"/"automatically represented" or are they hidden inside the sigma calculation? Systematic errors can easily remain hidden. The faster-than-light neutrino had 6-sigma confidence[0], but 4 other labs couldn't reproduce the results. In the end it was attributed to fiber optic timing errors. So if you don't know you have a system error, then you can very easily get great confidence in fundamentally flawed results.
