RE: Errors of experimentation

in #science7 years ago

Because scientists know these errors exist they try to think ahead of them. When designing experiments you already think about the things you mentioned, such as how many and what type of repetitions to do, the sample size to use, using multiple techniques to double-check values etc.
Designing proper experiments is an art in itself.

I see- that's genius! They must work very hard to perfect the right experiment.
