Confirmed by experiment perhaps
Perhaps not
If we were to tally the causes of starvation to attempt to prevent it, counting only the past 100 years of history is entirely inferior to measuring the entirety of both history and prehistory.
This is objective
the more data you have the better
The better in what sense
To check against your own conclusions?
To compound an error you made?
The better understanding of what causes starvation
More data also gives you the ability to construct viable seeming statistical models
Which are basically best fit abstractions. Or not even best fit
That are not true. You see this a lot in recent high energy physics
And astronomy
Where there is a surfiet of data
And papers being written every day based on it that will turn out to be spurious
The vast majority
Actually it would give you less ability to construct viable statisticial models because it allots for more variation
Viable as in viable seeming
I don't see how that changes anything
More data = more possibility for deviation of an imagined pattern
This helps remove human bias when theories don't match up
I respectfully think most of the scientific community disagrees
But you're free to your opinion
More data is not necessarily more possibility for deviation
But it is
In an assumption
That's simply fact
Not at all
Maybe you get lucky and what you study has a narrow spread
That's not about possibility
you're giving a specific example
More 'resolution' in a wide field
Doesnt help you
When you have no framework for the field
The framework comes first
That's very generalized
my point still stands though
Its a general discussion no
The more data you have, the more possibility for variation, compared to less data.
that's a very basic concept
