However, epidemiologists are too quick to ascribe to weight loss what might be better attributed to the life-style changes that produce weight loss.
Indeed, the failure in 2001 to resolve the state-owned (non-tradable) share problem is better attributed to this confusion of profit taking and policymaking than to raw greed.William HolmesCambridge, MassachusettsFalling flat on the flat taxSIR – I do not share Charlemagne's enthusiasm for the flat tax (March 5th).
For example, a previous study demonstrated that the somatic subscale score may be better attributed to the severity of the cancer disease, rather than the severity of depression [56].
We investigate whether flock-level, PrP-based risk factors can be identified which account for the wide variation in outbreak sizes seen across the flocks, or whether the variation is better attributed to stochasticity in disease dynamics.
The authors note this was to permit standardization of empirical antibiotic treatment such that any differences in observed outcomes could be better attributed to the diagnostic strategy.
Finally, for polysubstance-using youth in the sample, we cannot rule out that the risk for HCV in our models attributed to heroin may have been better attributed to risky behaviours associated with injection of other drugs.
The frequent conflation of these 2 dimensions raises the possibility that findings previously attributed to differences in type of mental state, such as the preferential engagement of MPFC during inferences about others' preferences, may in fact be better attributed to differences in the certainty with which such mental state inferences can be made.
It is also worth noting that the second highest number of unique SNVs also belongs to the BWA sampe aligner, so it is possible that the high number of unique SNVs is better attributed to the aligner than the variant caller.
Based on the uneven distribution of U6a and U6b lineages in Iberia, with the former predominating in southern and the latter in northern areas, it was proposed that U6b in Iberia represents a signal of a prehistoric North African immigration whereas the presence of U6a could be better attributed to the long lasting historic Arab/Berber occupation [ 40].
