dc.description	Contrary to the statements put forward in “Evaluation of measurement data – Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement”, edition 2008 (GUM-2008), issued by the Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology, the error concept and the uncertainty concept are the same. Arguments in favor of the contrary have been analyzed and found not to be compelling. Neither was any evidence presented in GUM-2008 that “errors” and “uncertainties” define a different relation between the measured and true values of the variable of interest, nor does this document refer to a Bayesian account of uncertainty beyond the mere endorsement of a degree-of-belief-type conception of probability.
