Revisiting: The best-written scientific paper you have read Replied, post #101 · Lounge › Off topic · 19 Jul 2026 · 0 likes The useful distinction on best-written scientific paper is between what was measured and what was inferred from it. Both end up in the same sentence and only one of…

Revisiting: The best-written scientific paper you have read Replied, post #90 · Lounge › Off topic · 14 Jul 2026 · 31 likes Small methodological point on best-written scientific paper: repeating a measurement is cheap and resolves most of what is being argued about here at no cost to anyone.

Reflectance and photometric devices: precision in practice — a second dataset Replied, post #55 · Analytics › Home & field testing · 22 Jun 2026 · 2 likes Picking up post #52: that is the part I would want checked first. Genuine question rather than a rhetorical one: has anyone here actually observed Reflectance and…
Reading a home test result without over-claiming Replied, post #84 · Analytics › Home & field testing · 18 Jun 2026 · 6 likes Where home testing is genuinely valuable is as a screen before spending on independent analysis, not as a substitute for it. Written from notes rather than memory,…
Follow-up: Prior authorisation: what the criteria usually require Replied, post #25 · Access › Insurance & coverage · 17 Jun 2026 · 2 likes What I want from this Prior authorisation thread is the list of things that would need to be true for the claim to hold.
