Since the relations between these variables and even their identities are largely unknown, the applicability of statistical methods of inference to the outcome of experiments in biomedical sciences is severely limited. Far from being a purely theoretical issue, this explains the recently proposed "Truth Wears Off” effect and sets a fundamental limitation on the applicability of machine-like approaches to the study of living organisms.
