✦ Synopsis

The authors of a recent paper in the Journal on standardised nomenclature in forensic science expressed the hope that their paper would generate much debate [I]. In the >&ion on "quantified and non-quantified comparisons" they attempt, very laudably, to express qualitatively quantitative expressions involving probabilities. However, their attempt has only succeeded, with this reader at least, in generating a contribution to the debate.
