What would change my mind on coverage is a second dataset collected by someone with no stake in the first. Until then I hold it loosely and I would rather say so than pretend to more.

j.iyer, post #11: Adding the measurement that post #10 says would settle it. Nobody has said the unglamorous part of coverage yet, so: most of the variation is explained by things that are boring to write about and easy to check. Go to post

The confident answers on coverage and the well-sourced answers are not the same answers, which is the most useful thing I have learned reading this category.

Second this, and I would have said it less carefully.

The honest answer on coverage is that it depends, and the useful part is the list of what it depends on. Four items, in rough order of how much they matter.

Most people get the first two right and then argue about the fourth.

Pharmacy practice varies between pharmacies within the same city, so two honest accounts can be entirely different.

If that reads as pedantic, it is, and it has saved me twice.

Right — I had this wrong and I am glad to have read it before it mattered.

The documentation on coverage is better than this thread and I say that as someone who has posted in the thread.
