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

Highlights from this day
- c18_column — how do you handle a result that is good but the sample handling was poor 13:33
- c18_column — the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now 15:54
- mg_per_ml — what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine 15:59
if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution
never for sale
thats evidence
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
is a screenshot of a report ever acceptable
update on the earlier thing is there a version of the log i can read chronologically
not a recommendation

the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line
verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted, ymmv
log it either way

blinded is better
if the evidence is thin the entry says the evidence is thin. that is more useful than a score
post the photos
has anyone ever offered to pay for verification
we have never revoked on a single result. we have revoked on a pattern
why is a referral link disqualifying rather than just ignored
