 True value is the term. It's something that's highly unattainable in science, especially when we're directly observing people Highly unlikely for you to get a true value. We can only really focus on observe values We always strive for true values, but we only get the observed ones, right? So true value is what really happened in nature. We might not be able to capture all that If you look at my observed value video, it's about condom use, right? So if I can get an accurate measure of how many condoms were used If the person did use five condoms in one night and I can if I get a measure of that Like they actually did use five condoms either I directly observed it or I used an indirect assessment Which is probably gonna be bad But if we can get the observed value to match the true value, that's what we want But oftentimes it's not gonna happen. We just can't catch every instance of something There's too many environmental constraints, the ethics, all sorts of issues that can come into play here As to why you can't capture a true value, but it's our goal and what we're always working towards
