Using two proxy models of proton probability densities, statistical bootstrap simulations (Monte Carlo repetitions) for neutrino departure times are performed in this paper. Large numbers of samples of 8060 times per model are generated. In agreement with statements by the OPERA detector collaboration, it is found that the maximum likelihood method can identify a time shift of all data with a precision of about +/- 6.8 ns, while the fluctuation of the average time is with +/- 23.1 ns much larger. In addition it is seen that singular events from the front tail of the distributions allow for more than 90% of the samples to detect with certainty the existence of a time shift (such events have not been reported by the OPERA collaboration).
