t.steenkamp, post #2: Everything in the opening post holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have. Independent test results are the most valuable data this community collects, and they are only comparable when the method is captured alongside the number. Go to post

Taking post #29 at face value and following it one step further.

Version the file rather than editing in place. A dataset that changes silently under an analysis makes the analysis unreproducible.

The honest answer is that it depends, and here is what it depends on.
