PHY.4:6 - Bias-Annotation

A familiar formula can conceal a missing physical premise. An elegant symmetry argument can conceal the same omission. Recover the participants, preparation and surroundings before deciding which transformations the situation admits.

A conditional family is useful when its remaining freedom is stated. Supplying an unexplained familiar coefficient would replace an unresolved physical question with apparent precision. Obtain further information only for the consequence that needs it.
