Even faced with the same data, ecologists sometimes come to opposite conclusions Study highlights powerful role subjective choices can play in research, though some critics urge caution about applying findings too broadly

Interesting note in Science: www.science.org/content/arti....
Also interesting that the title of the corresponding pdf is spelled differently (the nuance of the web title is gone). Even faced with the same article, editors sometimes come to different titles.

How to build causal knowledge?
Jim Grace’s article is both a philosophical reflection on how causal knowledge and causal evidence complement each other, and a practical guide for causal knowledge analysis. Fascinating and useful 👍.
