Go up one level in this thread


I have followed your results with great interest and I hope you continue.
Please.

I have noticed two problems with this thread: very high standards for
experimental results and very loose standards for accusations.

With limited resources it is impossible to achieve mathematical certainty in an
empirical study.  Just like in our everyday experiences.  However, I think we
can (and do!) absorb the information from both sources and become more
knowledgeable.  I would say that we can all learn from even a poor study if the
study conditions are explicit.  In this case the study was not poor and the
conditions were explicit.

I would suggest that the standards for a useful accusation should be much much
higher than those for a useful report.

Cheers,

Walter
