Errors in Reasoning about Laboratory Errors
Written by James O. Westgard, PhD, FACB   

What's scarier? The fact that there are errors in laboratories, or the fact that we don't understand what those errors mean? A lot of logically dubious arguments have been put forward about reducing QC, ignoring QC, or eliminating the practice of QC altogether. Dr. Westgard examines and refutes the thinking behind these arguments.

An updated version of this essay appears on the Nothing but the Truth about Quality book.
