Data analyses were performed by statisticians who were impartial to the hypotheses being tested.
The framework was trialled in small groups: two scientists and two statisticians worked in each group and the framework was tested using examples supplied by the scientists.
(If you need a non-statistician's explanation of why sampling and estimation is as accurate as an actual enumeration, consider your last blood test: did they remove and test ALL your blood?).
