slightly off topic but do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones

Highlights from this day
- back_from_away — if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution 19:21
- back_from_away — the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log… 19:23
- verify_or_dont — update on the earlier thing i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier 20:04
- vat_on_import — a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both 20:35
- back_from_away — slightly off topic but a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel 21:11
right so who decides, the mods or the room

the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not
two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both

if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
slightly off topic but a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
lot number or nothing
refresh on evidence
