Chemist: Our assay's endpoint shifts with the trace iron in the buffer salt, and that varies from supplier to supplier. Our published papers gave the grade of the salt but not the supplier. So the papers as they stand cannot be repeated. We therefore owe our readers a correction.

Which one of the following principles most helps to justify the chemist's reasoning?

AA laboratory owes its readers a correction only where a published result has been shown wrong, not where the method's description was merely incomplete.

BA laboratory should record the supplier of every reagent, whether or not that supplier could affect the result.

CA laboratory owes its readers a correction whenever a paper omits a detail its own standing procedure required it to record at the bench.

DA laboratory that describes a method too generally for another laboratory to obtain the same result has not described it adequately, however carefully it gives each reagent's grade.

EWhere a result in print cannot be reached again from the method as published, the laboratory owes its readers whatever further account would make it reachable.
