Industry Outlook 2008 -- Peering through the Looking Glass

We simply do not encounter vast observational differences between modern surveys these days. This is not to say that disputes wholly surrounding measurements will never be seen again- after all, small magnitudes can still generate big controversies, especially in densely populated areas
