[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2991160, member: 42494"] Agreed. This would not be considered a valid scientific test where all variables are controlled and exactly identical. For example, a heavier scope is going to hit a surface harder when dropped from the same height because of physics and was not adjusted, etc., etc. Also, the sample size of one gives you no, what statistics call "confidence", that what you collected is repeatable and therefore an accurate representation. The confidence factor would be almost zero for this testing and therefore worthless. It's really not a fair comparison. It's the exact same argument you see discussed constantly about group sizes, is 3 shots enough samples, 5?, 10?, 100? You'd need to test at least 100 scopes of each model to have any confidence in this polynomial type of test. It's not a simple binomial test. [/QUOTE]
