title: More noise does not mean more precision: A review of Aldenberg and Rorije (2013).
abstract: This paper provides a critical review of recently published work that suggests that the precision of hazardous concentration estimates from Species Sensitivity Distributions (SSDs) is improved when the uncertainty in the input data is taken into account. Our review confirms that this counter-intuitive result is indeed incorrect.
