Based on what I have seen in the real world, you NEVER want to use model
output to gain confidence in your measurements. You should normally want
to use several independent measurements (e.g., use several different
methods) of the same variables to attempt to answer the question of what
the real measurements should be.

Yes. Hence the point I was making is that the measurements are not worth
much because they are less confidence inspiring than the balloon data.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ model
predictions.

sorry for the confusion.
