Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Two figures use different units and one axis is logarithmic. How should a comparison be documented?
Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation. Use the original answer fragment “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Clarification for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: the point beginning “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Limit of the answer in “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Method note for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: use “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Correction note for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: retain the wording beginning “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Reader check for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: distinguish the discussion point “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 138 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · correction exercise
Summary draft for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: the answer addresses “Do not compare apparent visual distances…”; the related point is “Record the original units and axis transformation, show any conversion…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation.
Case 139 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods · correction exercise
A strong abstract conclusion is being discussed without the study methods. What should the reading note cover?
Review focus: correction. Preserve the old wording if a later source changes the interpretation. Use the original answer fragment “Assess whether the conclusion extends beyond the measurements and note what…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.
