6% average error in my google stats over 5 days


I have calculated over a 5 day period that there is an average error in my google stats of around 6%. This is based on the number of page views counted by google adsense and the number of page views counted by Google analytics.

This is an average error - as on a day-to-day basis the error swings +ve and -ve.

Against my 1and1 stats (which include a total of 314 hits from google robots etc) the error is even greater (daily hits shown as the green line on the chart).

I wondered why no one else has reported this on the web. Is this a Google (do-no-evil) fear factor?
