Depends on where you sit on the binomial curve. At p=0.04 for n=250 4% points would not be within margin of error.

Right I take your point, but that's not the comparison in this case though. These are paired results on the same 250 tasks, so whether a 4 point gap is meaningful depends on the task-level deltas, not just plugging p=0.04 into the binomial SE.
