PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS AND HYPOTHESIS TESTING: HOLES IN THE BLUE HOLE

Reconciling reported frequencies of periosteal reaction has been compromised by variable "criteria" for its recognition. One of the most important aspects of paleopathologic diagnosis is logical consideration of data, while avoiding biases introduced by preconceived notions. Documentation...
