When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: The explanation relates to statistical terminology from experimental design : control, sample, variable, experimental variable...// Your example describes control subjects as opposed to test subjects in an experiment, scientific but does not fit here.

This is not just statistical. I think you are wrong, it is a statement about use of various control levels. These are levels in the control population. Perhaps you are confusing this with confidence levels.

| thanks for your contribution, which I am sure would also have been ok. In the end I went with the other proposal because it fitted better with the text which followed. But thanks a lot |

: The original makes it difficult to attribute a particular meaning to the temr in context. THis works for covering a range of meanings and reads perfectly well.
