RMP.6:6 - Bias-Annotation

Recurring biasLikely driftCorrective move
Repetition biasAny repeat is treated as a stronger test of the substantive claim.Name the precise relation being challenged and the result that could change it.
Favorable-outcome biasCriteria or tested variants are selected after seeing agreement.Preserve the intended criterion, justified changes and unexamined range.
Quantity-of-methods biasMore Methods or sources are treated as independent support.Recover their distinct contributions, dependence and disagreement logic.
Acquisition biasEvery remaining uncertainty becomes another study.Compare attainable contribution with the full arrangement and allow a bounded completion.
Authority shortcutA requirement is defended by its label or bypassed because it is costly.Examine protection merits separately from the competent decision and current force.
