Thank you ElMaestro and d_labes.

ElMaestro: This certainly seems rational. On the other hand, consider a simple ANOVA with multiple measurements of a particular feature on each subject in a group. The test of significance between subjects has to rely upon a within-subject error estimate.

d_labes: In the thread you referenced, HS states

❝ sequences are a between subject effect and therefore need to be compared to the between subject residual error


- which corresponds to ElMaestro's point. But the thread ultimately seems to settle on the explanation that the important distinction was whether subject effects were considered fixed or random. I'll read about this in a book and try to get my head around it.

Regards
Max
