We believe consequential decisions with profound and long-lasting impact on the safety and fate of the "system" require much higher scrutiny in order to ensure that all conceivable error-inducing factors are fully understood and proactively addressed.
Historic incidents related to health and safety have led to more regulations intended to anticipate every conceivable mishap, error or omission.
They were undermined by a familiar cocktail – a bit of bad luck, set-piece concessions, barely conceivable individual errors and, to set the seal on it, a lunge towards the self-destruct button.
The courts still must review the entire record in search of conceivable ways the error may have influenced the jury; they still must conduct their review de novo; and they still must decide whether they have sufficient confidence that the verdict would have remained unchanged even if the error had not occurred.
In our study, this was a conceivable source of error if not considered as there are at least three tributaries draining to the mainstem of Teno with considerable 1SW salmon stock that were not sampled for the baseline.
However, if one considers that all the other homologous genes are encoded on a single ORF (Fig. S1), and that POR_0547 and POR_0548 are not in frame, it is conceivable that a sequencing error may be the reason for this discrepancy and that also the poribacterial SwfA is actually encoded on a single ORF.
Further, it is conceivable that data entry errors occurred when survey data were captured prior to assessment, also resulting in discordant pairs.
It is conceivable that this large relative error (of 8.23%) may affect the results of meta-analysis.
Alternatively, it is conceivable that this might represent an error in genomic sequence assembly and annotation.
"It is conceivable that Mercury remained within tracking-error limits of the Barra system despite dramatically underperforming the market," says Claire Smith, a consultant.It remains to be seen if other lawsuits will follow.
