John:
I took the following from your paper. Has it been suggested to used a definition like this in 921.
A comparison sample is defined as a sample, which to the best of the investigatorÂ’s knowledge is identical to the suspect sample in every respect except that no accelerant has been applied to the material being selected for comparison.
