Sample size — where it appears
How many plants would it take
Fourteen specimens separate the geometry's Fibonacci share from a coin weighted to a half. Four separate it from what a grown history gives. One fir cone measured at three rings settles whether its ladder is spaced as a cone's or an ogive's. The sample sizes are small, and that is the uncomfortable part.
The survey this site cannot do
Four phases of asking for a dataset, and it is still not here. What this phase can do instead is specify it — the fields, the sampling, the sizes, and which of this collection's claims each one would settle. Two of the four fields asked for turn out to be worth less than the asking implied, and one was never asked for at all.
