r.villalobos, post #104: Answering the question post #102 raises rather than the one it answers. The most useful contribution to this subcategory is a resolved case written up with the resolution, because the unresolved ones are all anyone remembers. That is the practical version. The rigorous version is longer and says the same thing. Go to post

Adding a null result on documentation. I looked, carefully, and found nothing, and null results deserve posting precisely because they never are.

t.ibarra, post #11: Building on post #10 rather than restating it. Careful with the language on documentation. "Not detected" and "not present" are different findings and the first is a statement about the method. Go to post

The strongest single signal available cheaply is what happens when you ask a technical question. A quantitative answer inside a working day is difficult to fake at scale.

Picking up post #122: that is the part I would want checked first.

Documentation quality as a signal: a supplier that reports method identifiers, distinguishes specification from result, and states the counter-ion form is telling you something about systems behind the document. A certificate that is a number and a signature tells you less.

Where I would look next, rather than where I would stop.

Where the same certificate image appears with different lot numbers, that is a documentation finding worth reporting with the images attached.

Worth checking against a second source before it gets quoted onward.

lc_gradient, post #120: Post #117 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition. The reason documentation keeps being re-asked is that the answer is conditional and people quote it without the condition. It is not that the answer is unknown. Go to post

That is a cleaner way of putting what I was circling around.
