Reminds a bit of the basis of classical test theory in statistics, that assumes - and demands - an almost infinite number of case studies as a basis for it'S theoretical claims. But when doing statistic or testing examinations, you simply never have an infinte number of case studies. you even do not have an infinite number of testing population from which to randomly select a representative sample for your test battery.

In statistics and test theory, that is a very huge problem.

Never heared of that Russel chicken before. But the story made me burst with laughter. For that I spend one round of free beer.
