- Comparison
- Auditing the alignment rule is the structural form of methodological critique in experimental design — selection bias, confounding, and equating failures are all alignment-rule failures in disguise — and the same audit transfers to cross-cultural and cross-domain comparison, as Sartori (1991) argues in his account of "cat-dog" miscomparisons: aggregates assembled under an alignment rule that papers over genuine non-equivalence, defeating the comparison from inside.
This sourceIdentifies "cat-dog" miscomparisons — aggregates assembled under an alignment rule that conceals genuine non-equivalence — as the central failure mode, with alignment-rule audit as the discipline — supports the Manages-Complexity alignment-rule-audit claim.
