Right, if you're at the point of constructing some kind of principled estimate of variation in the data then I think you have a pass to at least talk about "significance". But in that case I'm sure you're aware that this requires a particular hypothesis test in mind, not just an abstract notion of "significance", and that p-values interpreted as "strength of evidence" are problematic.
