You mean the one featured in the article? I don't know. I am at work at the moment and haven't downloaded the paper.

Still not sure what you mean by error rate though.

Are they ever wrong? Is it falsifiable?

From what I can tell (not having read the paper) and from what I expect, they are writing up observations and doing statistical analysis on it.

It's hypotheses that are meant to be falsifiable. They aren't putting forward a hypothesis.

Accuracy in identification or interpretation is not the purpose of this initial study. That will happen with repeated studies and reviews. You really don't do science much do you.

Ok, that’s kind of what I thought.

Slightly embarrassed that I posted the wrong paper but it was 2018 so suggests that it was part of the same study.

EDIT: Argh fuck it, it was the same paper!
