Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? In the color triangle experiment the great majority of judgments were apparently objective, and the authors judged the four-type classification unsatisfactory. → Sunne 1917
