And when the tails of the distribution are at issue, then you see all sorts of arguments about whether or not you're "really" dealing with a Gaussian, or a Gamma, or a Weibull, or a log-normal, or any of a dozen other statistical distributions.

For example, loss may follow a continuous exponential or a Weibull distribution, with loss decreasing over time after a threshold is exceeded, while recovery may follow a normal distribution that incorporates a lag-phase.
