Mr. Shawn is limited by the scope of the narrator's experience, of course — an economist or political scientist he is not — but the resulting narrative circles around a few basic conclusions that seem thinner and more obvious the more they are illustrated or simply repeated.
Stanley Ambrose, an archaeologist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, adds that the team's "basic conclusions"—that there was a change in style, or at the very least a change in technique, during the Still Bay period—"seem sound".
"It seems that every week, every month, there are new revelations that support my basic conclusion that I came to early on, on September the 11th".
The board did not change its basic conclusion, that the crash was probably the result of ice that accumulated on the wings and caused instability in the ailerons, moveable panels on the wings used to bank the airplane.
Instead, Hornby reaches the same basic conclusion that he reached in "High Fidelity": No one can be a rebel forever; once you turn 30 you have to get serious about things.
Here's a small dose, in reaction to a Kevin Drum on the relatively small estimated elasticities of demand for oil produced in a recent IMF study:On one hand, you don't need a lot of fancy econometrics to reach the basic conclusion that we could double the price of oil, and we'd still be carefully examining succession issues in Saudi Arabia.
Nevertheless, the use of primary industrial groups generally leads to more within-group heterogeneities and tends to underestimate between-industry variations, which does not change our basic conclusion that industry segregation is more important than region segregation in explaining income inequality in contemporary China.
I also can't help but note that those arguing against the basic conclusion that health is fostered by diets emphasizing vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts, and seeds rather than meat, butter, and cheese- are reliably, and unforgivably, inattentive to the impact of dietary patterns at scale on the fate of the planet.
Nevertheless, our basic conclusion that certain genetic polymorphisms, such as APOE, exhibiting their main effect later in life can still be under the action of natural selection, still holds.
An error would influence interpretation of a particular network of cyclins, what is indeed, with currently available data possible, but would not change the basic conclusion that the network dynamic is essential in the interpretation of its biological function.
Whether crowding results from low-level integration mechanisms, spatial imprecision, or the coarse resolution of higher level attentional processes, evidence supports the basic conclusion that crowding sets limits on spatial resolution in clutter.
