Another way of saying what I said earlier today: it's just a matter
of what things you choose to hold constant and what things you choose
to vary. I am certainly for controlling variables as much as
possible; if gum printers were divided into groups labeled "For
standardization of procedure" and "against standardization of
procedure" (could there really be anyone in that latter category?)
I would fall solidly in the standardization camp, so I hope no one's
trying to make a case that I'm against standardization. We all have
our own ideas about what variables it makes most sense to hold
constant, but we're all trying to control the process in whatever
way seems most effective and efficient to each of us, I think.
