P1) A study counts as high quality if, and only if, the study can be applied to anyone universally on a population level (meaning perfect external validity).
(∀x(Hx↔Ux))
P2) An experiment with humans in a lab under constant observation and controls for life or a direct mechanism can not be applied to anyone universally on a population level (meaning imperfect external validity).
(¬Ue)
