Anyway,  what is the difference in the risks associated with reports on 
performance  from convention gardens vs risks associated with reports 
from the official  AIS trial garden 


Dunno. You are the hybridizer; you tell me what risks you will take, and  how 
you will weigh these against the limited but known fruits of your own  direct 
experience. I simply posed the question as a philosophical  whatif.  A 
reminder that the data may carry the risk of speciousness.  But I tell you, 
girlfriend, I am still reeling from the awarness that people  send their creations 
out, supporting the convention, as it were, but do  not get any useful feedback 
on the performance of their plants. What a  waste of experience!  
 
I do think data may be of some use to many, if it is allowed  to remain raw 
before distribution so that each recipient may interpret it  as they see fit. 
Someone may want it for hybridizing, another may want it  for selecting plants 
for a public garden, and so on. It is  in attempting to confer some sort of 
wholesale generic one size fits  all order on information that the eloquence and 
the utility of the  datum may be lost. 
 
Can't help loving that datum of mine.......
 
Why don't you see if you can come up with a form that would do the trick?  
Distill it to the utter eloquent pith. One side of one sheet of paper.  Minimal 
subjectivity. 
 
Cordially,

of brownies from scratch just to warm the place up. Heh.
