Time variability also increases with the time estimate for a task. If a task is "about two weeks", then it might be 1.5 weeks or it might be 4 weeks.
But if a task is about 1 day, it may take 4 hours or 4 days, but it will almost certainly not be 1 month.
Points are always just a proxy for time, and work the same way. Not matter what anyone claims, as long as you use points to plan time-abound sprints, points are directly a measure of time.
