The anatomy of a question that gets answered within an hour Replied, post #119 · Start Here › How to Ask · 20 Jul 2026 · 0 likes Speaking as somebody who asked badly last month and got a polite request for four missing details: writing the question properly the first time takes ten minutes and…
Spreadsheets: an appreciation — what changed since Replied, post #102 · Lounge › Off topic · 16 Jul 2026 · 2 likes Summarising the Spreadsheets thread so far, since it is long and the answer is buried: the first reply has the method, the fourth has the correction to it, and the rest…
Coming back to: Specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, range, robustness — with… Replied, post #58 · Analytics › Method validation · 18 Jun 2026 · 21 likes The reason Specificity keeps being re-asked is that the answer is conditional and people quote it without the condition.

[2026 update] Interpreting a result that disagrees with the supplier's certificate Replied, post #11 · Sourcing › Independent verification · 11 Jun 2026 · 0 likes Answering the question post #7 raises rather than the one it answers.

Risk-of-bias tools and the judgement they conceal — does this still hold? Replied, post #10 · Evidence › Meta-analyses · 28 May 2026 · 0 likes Where I part company with post #6, and it is a narrow parting. I think the Risk-of-bias tools question is answerable and has not been answered, which is a more…
Introducing myself: pharmacist, sceptic, reluctant participant — one year on Replied, post #107 · Lounge › Introductions · 18 Mar 2026 · 1 like New, no scientific background at all, and slightly intimidated by the first three topics I opened. Is there a sensible on-ramp for someone who is here for practical…
Angle of injection and whether 90 degrees is always right Replied, post #63 · Practice › Administration · 9 Dec 2025 · 23 likes This follows post #60 rather than contradicting it. Drawing up with one needle and injecting with another: a reasonable practice if you have extra needles. Fresh needle…
Second pass at: The mass-error checker and its intended scope Replied, post #52 · Data & Tools › Calculators · 1 Nov 2025 · 0 likes Filing a mild objection to the consensus on mass-error checker. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit.
