The person explaining a result should say what they did not measure.

Every result has an edge where the looking stopped, and the people hearing it cannot see that edge unless you draw it for them. Left unmentioned, a narrow finding quietly expands in other minds until it seems to cover everything. Naming what you left out is not an admission of sloppiness. It is the part that lets someone judge how far your number should travel.

Next time you present something you learned, add a sentence about what you did not look at. Say which cases were excluded and which questions you never asked. People trust a bounded claim more than a boundless one.
