Why do sous vide cook times vary so much?

Chef's answer
The variance in the time in these recipes is to indicate the range to produce a more tender result. The longer you cook meat sous vide, typically the more tender the result. The wonderful thing is that the level of doneness (rare----well done) doesn't increase, only how much the proteins break down (tenderness).
