He says the benchmarks set out by Diac "are dominated by administrative considerations rather than validity considerations, which should be at least as important".
The paper makes connections to concepts in other disciplines (e.g., intensive and extensive context, reciprocal interaction, and co-construction) and problematizes relevant design, measurement, and validity considerations.

(Messick 1989a1989b 19901994a1994b1994c1996), however, challenged this traditional notion of validation and introduced a new meaning for validity where validity is to do with the meaning of test scores rather than the test itself (Fulcher 1999) and where 'the consideration of values and consequences of score use has an essential role in validity considerations' (Bachman 1990, pp. 241 2).
Moreover, trial duration also has significant implications for the design of clinical studies, which require specific ethical as well as trial validity considerations as further discussed below.
In summary, the results of these analyses underscore the importance of sampling approach in study design for both internal and external validity considerations.
Furthermore, the relationship between the original differentiating function of the interview and UMAT and pursuing high degrees of predictive validity deserves consideration.
The efficacy of MMT observed in this study may need to take threats of internal validity into consideration and, namely, the positive outcomes may be caused by other factors such as maturation, testing, and sample selection bias.
