Matching approach to dealing with sampling bias. Basically use some intrinsic, or other, metric about the situations to cluster them so that "similar" situations will be dealt with similiarly. Then analysis is carried out on those clusters. Number of clusters has to be defined, some method, like k-means, if often used. Depends a lot on the similarity metric, the clustering approach, other assumptions

To avoid making false conclusions, studies must identify all the sources of variation. Is this is even possible in most caes?

This is a key statement: how we experience the world depends on the perceptual and cognitive lens used to filter the world through.

Francis Heylighen proposes a nondual system based on causal dependency relationships to serve as the foundation for distributed cognition.(collective intelligence).

Linking these many fragmented and long causal chains and tracing them back to the hyperthreat can be a polwerful visualization that brings the hyperthreat to life.

Intro to "Agential Intra-Action"

So Campbell seems to have a lot of "causal chains," so where are the "bundles of evidence" exactly? I mean, this definitely seems to be moral reasoning, but this looks like more of a chain than a bundle.
