Should extrapolated rows be in the table at all?Resolved
Half the rows are marked "extrapolated" with "not established" in the reconstituted column. Arguably they carry no information and their presence implies the table knows something about those compounds that it does not. — — VerifyFirstVida (talk) 10:28, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
They carry one piece of information, which is that no stability study exists. That is genuinely useful and is exactly the kind of fact that vanishes if we only tabulate what is known. A reader who searches for a compound and finds no row concludes we did not get round to it; a reader who finds "not established" learns something. — — Chromatokid (talk) 12:55, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
Agree with Chromatokid. The absence of evidence is the finding for most of this class. — — ColdChainCleo (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
Persuaded — the absence of a stability study is itself the finding for most of this class. ✓ Resolved — — VerifyFirstVida (talk) 08:36, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
