Often, it means that a very choice dataset operating with very specific conditions can lead to a high point of accuracy that won't apply to a more general set of inputs.
First: on a simple point of accuracy, diagnoses from afar often turn out to be wrong.
Tom Six's game-changing horror about a German doctor who kidnaps tourists then stitches them together made a point of its anatomical accuracy.
We evaluated the accuracy of a point-of-care test designed to measure adherence to isoniazid (INH) preventive therapy in a hospital setting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Objective: To study the feasibility and accuracy of a point-of-care (POC) analyzer capable of performing bedside serum lactate measurements; and to determine if other measurements (pH, base excess) are predictive of mortality.
PA is one of the manifestations that may contribute to the diagnosis of MFS [ 4], however, diagnosing PA has been a point of discussion since the accuracy of measurements on plain pelvic radiographs is uncertain and may vary with pelvic tilt [ 9].
A point of note is the extreme accuracy of the long stride under the personalized estimation scheme.
Although promising from the point of accuracy, more prospective trials are needed to validate 18F-fluoride PET/CT as a surrogate biomarker of outcome before routine application.
The anchoring and adjustment heuristic: Implies that people under conditions of uncertainty without conscious awareness will establish an "anchor", and from this anchor adjust their judgement, often in the "right" direction, although not to the point of accuracy.
Response: I am not only very grateful to Eugene Koonin for his positive appreciation of my work, but even more so for putting his finger with such accuracy on a point of dissention between my views and those of many evolutionary biologist of today.
The signal-to-noise ratio of our recordings (Figure S1 in the Supporting Information) and various error sources for the calculation of spot positions (see Material and Methods) resulted in a point accuracy of 50 nm and a resolution limit of 0.008 µm2/s for diffusion coefficients (Di).
