Abstract
We have so far assumed the condition p 4 which seems to be rather strong — it is rather strange to expect that a researcher always knows what the effects are of all factors considered by him to be secondary ones for the magnitude in question. The same holds for the condition p 3 of a possibility of perfect experiments — technical capacities of actual researchers are sufficient to minimize the influence of some factors only.
