A closer reading

Make space for the question

A range around an estimate describes uncertainty about a defined quantity. It cannot supply an answer to a different question that was never measured. Imagine a report that estimates one outcome very precisely while a reader wants to know about another. Narrowing the first estimate further would not close that gap. This distinction helps explain why a result can be informative and still leave an important question unanswered. Before looking for a tighter range, identify whether the missing information concerns the existing estimate or requires a different outcome, observation period, or comparison altogether.

Keep these questions nearby

  1. Which defined quantity does the reported uncertainty range actually describe here?
  2. Is the unanswered concern about that estimate or about a different outcome?
  3. Would greater precision resolve the concern, or would different information be needed?
