Rule of reducing factors

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/reduction-factor

Note from the Producers: We thought this was a thing but apparently not. Here's Tango's explanation of her use of the term: "Ah, so here I'm pulling the classic Tango move of encapsulating a big idea into a small phrase, haha. I mirrored his language with the phrase "reducing factors". The thing I'm referring to probably has an official term, but I'm not aware of it. I'm nodding, there, at my more general pet peeve for the over-constrictedness of modern scientific experimentation. The idea is that an experiment with a small amount of factors is easier to interpret than one with lots & lots of factors to account for. This is a classic mental framing approach in the hard science -- and for many good reasons. The rule is true but only works to a certain extent, because after a point you lose the correlation to reality. Lots of biological science is rocketing forward right now in areas where they're finally studying the females of the species. Scientists believed that limiting their experiments to males would improve their path to truth, but it actualized the opposite in many (but not all) areas. I'm a philosopher, this is a 'philosophy of science' pet peeve I'm commenting on. What Michael says is true; it's just that I can't let go of the nuance. Hahahaha, you're welcome. "
