  20. Re:Great news! on Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half · · Score: 2, Informative

    Are you so dense that you can not comprehend simple english? Reread my posts, slowly.

    Study 1 uses dataset A and has result X.
    Study 2 uses dataset B (wich is A + new data) and has result Z

    Based on dataset A, result X is correct, this does not mean that it's true.
    Based on dataset B, result Z is correct, this does not mean that it's true.

    Both can have the same confidence %, both can conflict, because they are NOT THE SAME.

    In your example, the mistake in his measurement equipment is the new data that means the previous claim is invalid.
    In other words, based on the data he had, his claim was valid, once new data is introduced (faulty equipment), the validity of his claim can change.

    That's all i said basically.

  25. Re:Great news! on Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half · · Score: 1

    Look, if i make a study based on current data that predicts with 95% confidence level that event X will happen, then that confidence level is based on said data.

    If later new data presents i have to revise my study to account for the new data, and the outcome might be different, even though based on the new study the confidence in the study itself on the new data has the same percentage.
