That holds where the measurement is reliable. Where it is noisy — and a lot of what gets tracked here is noisy — the same reasoning produces confident nonsense.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Pushing back on BariatricNurseD here. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Shop Reference StandardsOne concrete data point for the thread. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.
Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Carry on.
