 HI; You don't mention the number of rows involved (all the same number, but what number?).  The simple example would be if you had 10 amps and only
loaed 8 roes -- it would be skewed.  Less expected, but still kind of obvious:  Load 105 rows (again, to 10 amps) and the fivve amps with an extra
row will have 10% mroe than the other 5 amps = skewed again. I guess the first question to ask is whether the number of rows is a multiple of the number of amps?  If so, it would seem that there should be
now skewing....
