Because the Superhub acts as a network bridge between two segments of network. One is your LAN, the other is the DOCSIS link between your CM and the gateway. Anything beyond that is dealt with by VM's core network, which in theory would act in exactly the same way regardless of whether the data came from a VMNG300, Superhub, or an Ambit modem.
Beyond the single (logical) hop DOCSIS link your data is bridge back onto a (hopefully) all IP core network again and the Superhub loses any influence it may have as it no longer directly signals anything on this section of the network.

Ping -t.

Balance of probabilities.
It's not hard.

Yes you can, as long as your definition of "accurate" is not 100.0%. There are acceptable levels of accuracy and standard deviations. Granted, you can't ever be 100% accurate, then again you can't 100% accurately state you're alive or your modem is connected. The best scientific knowledge we have is not 100% accurate.
95% or 99% accuracy is the baseline standard for pretty much all modern sciences, and is more than acceptable for everyone else. Stop being pedantic.
