I think Ronnie Sahlberg originally called the statistics "round-trip times", 
and later changed them to "service response times".

Unfortunately, we don't currently share code between the Wireshark and TShark 
versions of those statistics taps, and perhaps the Wireshark taps were changed 
and the TShark taps weren't.  The H.225 statistic may have been done after that 
and called them both "service response times".

I think any statistic that gives the same results in Wireshark and TShark 
should have the same -z argument in Wireshark and TShark; anything else 
violates the Principle of Least Surprise.
