Because the projected hatchling mass from this maximum likelihood estimate is biologically implausible, we used comparisons with other taxa and our histological observations to construct informative prior distributions for hatchling and adult mass and calculated a Bayesian estimate of Archaeopteryx growth.
The broader argument-from-uncertainty is less implausible than the direct comparison of embryo to an acorn, but for a supposed champion of enlightenment the combination is still a strange one.
It is noteworthy that the comparison to implausible pre-NAGNAG sites controls for the general selection to preserve the polypyrimidine tract in case of intronic mutations, thus observed differences can be attributed to selection against plausible NAGNAG sites.
The absence of common anchor points makes intersubjective utility comparisons generally implausible; therefore, we did not average behavioral and neuronal data across the individual animals studied.
He could even have gone further by taking on some of leave's other misleading claims: the £2.4bn increase in UK contributions (not true); the £350m a week being sent to the EU (misleading, says the UK's statistics watchdog); Turkey's imminent EU membership (totally implausible) or Boris Johnson's reckless comparison of the EU's goals with those of Adolf Hitler.
Implausible in hindsight.
However, it is psychologically implausible that the intricate system of weighted respects of similarity involving comparison of miracles of different sizes could capture the intuitive similarity relation used in counterfactual reasoning.
Having worked extensively on-the-ground throughout the country for decades, as well as in many other emerging markets with which meaningful comparisons might be made, this is probably not implausible.
15 Third, it is implausible that exactly the same stratification differences would occur between the case and comparison data-sets in both discovery and target samples.
A useful comparison is the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, which was considered implausible from its inception, even by its creator, yet led the way to the ultimately correct theory of quantum mechanics.
This assumption is implausible when hazard functions intersect, and can have a huge impact on decisions based on comparisons of expected survival, such as cost-effectiveness analysis.
