In the process of defining their variables, researchers often produce dependencies between them by redundantly including component variables. The result is that a null hypothesis of “no relationship” cannot be tested by comparing the observed correlation with zero. The potentially misleading consequences of this practice are discussed in a detailed analysis of the size-administrative intensity literature. Suggestions are made for dealing with the problem
