Highlights from this day
  • gradient_greg — blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs 15:23
  • gradient_greg — verification is revoked on a confirmed failure and the revocation stays in the log permanently 16:04
  • gradient_greg — a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record 16:21
  • bea_reconstitutes — what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, from memory 16:53

somebody once offered to fund the testing programme in exchange for an entry. the offer is in the log
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones

we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern

lot number or nothing

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

*Janoshik not the other one

SH

a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited

GG

a good result with bad sample handling gets logged with a note about the handling. context is part of the record

why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored

log it either way

i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier

verification is not a recommendation. it means the evidence standard has been met, nothing more
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises

who decides, the mods or the room
