Cases like this one seem to show a necessary connection: they suggest that the ethical character of the bank manager's act cannot vary without some other facts varying as well.
Some of their diseases are peculiar to themselves; other diseases, common to us all, take a form in children varying as much from their familiar form with us as a child varies from a man.
Justin Wolfers: The fact that predictions vary isn't necessarily evidence that they are wrong — if the data are also varying as strongly.
A number of host species may be susceptible to infection with a given parasite, and the pattern of host susceptibility need not correspond with taxonomic relationships, including hosts varying as widely as vertebrates and invertebrates.
Allele sizes generated by the eucalypt microsatellite loci were highly varying, as low as 50 bp was detected in E. camaldulensis (da Silva et al. [2009]).
We show that in ERα-positive breast cancer cells (MCF-7) the estrogen receptor gene and downstream target genes are cell cycle regulated with expression levels varying as much as three-fold between phases of the cell cycle.
We show that in MCF-7 cells the estrogen receptor and downstream target genes are cell cycle regulated with expression levels varying as much as three-fold between phases of the cell cycle.
Within each treatment, we selected sites representing a range of crop height and stand structural heterogeneity from within landscapes varying as much as possible in the amount of non-crop habitat they contained.
The overall annual EFR rate for the NESI respondents is 0.26 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.20, 0.33), varying as low as 0.11 for never-incarcerated, older career injectors and as high as 0.46 for never-incarcerated, early career injectors.
Gestational length was estimated by date of maternally-recalled last menstrual period which may be an unreliable measure, varying as much as ± 7-21 dependingending on a host of factors including nutrition, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, and inter-pregnancy interval [ 43- 46].
This case provides us with a specific ethical supervenience thesis: it suggests that the ethical quality of the manager's action cannot vary without something else varying as well (compare Horgan and Timmons 1992, 226 on specific supervenience facts).
