(The reason you might be confused about that is weeks' worth of imprecise reporting, as the media has – understandably – had trouble making heads or tails of this).
But the inaccuracies that still infiltrate some broadcasts, on radio and TV, are worrisome to the N.F.L. because imprecise reporting often aggravates the problem.
Moreover, since imprecise reporting would likely apply to both mild anemic and non anemic groups, any inaccuracy would result in an underestimation of the associations.
Imprecise reporting of fishery statistics where several species are lumped together as one category (i.e. "sharks"or "skates") can mask basic changes in community structure and profound reductions in populations of the larger, slower growing species (Dulvy et al., 2000).
The inconsistent and imprecise reporting of data may be the explanation for the fact that, despite numerous published studies on this subject, there is an ongoing debate on if, when, how, and by whom pre-hospital advanced airway management should be performed.
Actual P values (for example, P=0.003) are strongly preferable to imprecise threshold reports such as P<0.05.
These ages limit the last overflow of the Provo stand to earlier than ∼13.5 cal ka BP, consistent with the younger bound of the imprecise age reported by Bright.
The studies explored a variety of behavioural outcomes (e.g., smoking cessation, medication adherence, and vitamin use), many of which were assessed through imprecise self-report measures.
To date trials evaluating behaviour change interventions have been limited by a lack of use of objective measures of physical activity favouring imprecise self-report methods[ 13].
13 Some studies reported that WHR is imprecise while others reported that it is a precise measure.
Potential limitations of this study include the imprecise laterality measure reported by mothers, particularly as the 'mixed-handed' category reflects no reported hand preference rather than a more structured assessment of whether an individual is ambidextrous.
