[Discussion] we are measuring first time at the wrong time and calling it noise

Discussion

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/insurancefights repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 19 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

What does the wiki say?

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
