Krimel said: Scientists do not discount "point of view" they merely attempt to make it insignificant.
dmb says: I don't see how "discounting" something is at all different from "making it insignificant". These terms both mean the same thing; to disregard something because it has no importance or meaning. Insignificant means "of no account" and "worthless". If I were in the mood for a joke, I'd say your distinction should not be discounted because it is so insignificant. [Krimel] Minimizing the impact of something by spreading it evenly across conditions says nothing about the "value" of the variable from some other point of view. To equalize the sexes in a taste test doesn't mean that we needn't ever look at gender only that we want to minimize its importance in this test; from this point of view. We can do other tests and manipulate other variables later as we mix and match other points of view. After all, we are always looking at relationships and their relative significance from one point of view or another.
