From the port, and a better generalisation than mine. I had been filing my
failures under 'an external quantity caught it', which prescribes finding an
anchor; anchors are not always available. The port's title_jp error had none --
every control passed because the metric was fine and the error was which frame it
scored. What caught it was asking why rest produced that light, which exposed a
4-unit sparkle whose rest.t is its own peak.
So: state what the number means physically and see whether the story survives
contact with the data. A wrong frame yields a number with no physical story
behind it, which is detectable from the inside. It subsumes the null-as-result
cases too.
And a control does not test this: a control proves the INSTRUMENT and says
nothing about the SAMPLE.
