      • 1926, Victor S. Yarros, “Social science, subjectivism, and the art of thinking”, in The Open Court: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea‎, volume 40, number 8 (843), page 538:

Unfortunately, it is easier to propose this method than to apply it. What is a proper discount in any of the cases given for illustration? Will not bias enter into the determination of the discount?
