(It's no coincidence that the one consistent exception to the general malaise is the luxury business, where, as a recent Booz & Company study put it, service is a true "differentiator," and where cost is much less of an object).
The only consistent exception to this rule was Nintendo, who developed both the platform and its games, and so needed a smaller audience to thrive.
However, the generalized exception types may be so general that they have limited value in defining a clear and consistent exception interface.
The one consistent exception has been Kristof himself, in the column he's written for the Op-Ed page of The New York Times since 2001.
The consistent exception was the Cognitive Functioning scale; something that has been observed in many other studies.
In general, the cases that were deleted were similar on covariate distributions to the cases that were included in the models, with one consistent exception for all three measures for Medicaid and Medicare: the deleted cases were more often from rural geographic areas.
The splicing pattern of IgM appears consistent with exceptions only in a few species, for example, membrane IgM chains with different number of Cμ domains have been described in ancient fishes [ 30, 36], in which we observe the general rule followed in teleost fishes, Cμ3 - TM, as well as the mammalian pathway, Cμ4 - TM.
The organizations of vascular bundles were consistent without exception.
While sequence similarity at the nucleotide level was not sufficient to precisely map the inversion breakpoints in the intergenic regions, order and orientation of homologous gene pairs were consistent without exception and allowed to estimate the position of the inversion breakpoints.
