A closer reading
Make space for the question
Repeated measurements are helpful snapshots, but a collection of snapshots is not a continuous record. If a score looks similar at several visits, that pattern alone does not describe everything that happened between them. There could have been movement away from that level and back again. A claim about persistence therefore needs a clear meaning: present at the sampled moments, present without interruption, or present for a specified portion of the interval. Keeping those meanings apart helps a reader appreciate repeated observations without asking them to fill in time that was never observed.
Keep these questions nearby
- Does persistence mean similarity at visits or an uninterrupted pattern between them?
- What information describes the intervals separating the measurements that were actually recorded?
- Would changes between visits alter the conclusion drawn from the available snapshots?
