There are lots of papers where researchers make assumptions about some parameters (e.g. the fatality rate) & have "hard"/novel data on other parameters and then blend those in some way to infer some third set of parameters. People on here need to be careful about which is which. — PolitiTweet.org

e.g. You might have a paper that *assumes* from other research that the IFR (infection fatality rate) is 0.5% to estimate some other interesting quantities. But then people will point to the paper and be like "see, this clever paper shows the IFR is 0.5%." No! It just assumes it. — PolitiTweet.org
