How to read discussions

Fact discussion: .
Opening statement:

Closing statement: Resolution not yet found.

(A closing statement, when resolved, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

Alex: But the uncertainty analysis is part of the content. At least for assessments. Why exclude it from the content and restrict it to the narrative description? Sometimes, the narrative description IS the content: if you are not dealing with figures e.g.. E.g. policy measures.

Jouni: Uncertainty analysis does NOT mean error propagation (which definitely belongs to actual content) but e.g. evaluation of the calibration of the result against an external standard. Policy measures are actual content. If it is qualitative, it does not mean that it is narrative.

Alex: Above (in the e-mail) you say that MC is uncertainty. And I think uncertainty is both. Do you mean in this case the uncertainty referring to the whole assessment and not to single variables? (Although error propagation IS also referring to the whole assessment in some way.)
