14. MINUTIAE: DETAILS::

data : hypotheses
research : findings
approximations: calculations
queries : answers
quibbles: objections
===================
MINUTIAE – MINUTIAE : DETAILS
Function: noun
a minute or minor detail ― usually used in plural

DETAILS – MINUTIAE : DETAILS
Function: noun.
1 : extended treatment of or attention to particular items
2 : a part of a whole: as a : a small and subordinate part : PARTICULAR also : a reproduction of such a part of a work of art b : a part considered or requiring to be considered separately from the whole c : the small elements that collectively constitute a work of art d : the small elements of a photographic image corresponding to those of the subject
3 a : selection of a person or group for a particular task (as in military service) b (1) : the person or group selected (2) : the task to be performed

===================
data –data : hypotheses
Function: noun
1 : factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation <the data is plentiful and easily available ― H. A. Gleason, Jr.> <comprehensive data on economic growth have been published ― N. H. Jacoby>
2 : information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful
3 : information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed
usage Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a plural noun (like earnings), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers (as these, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a referent for plural pronouns (as they, them); and as an abstract mass noun (like information), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (as this, much, little), and being referred to by a singular pronoun (it). Both constructions are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, evidently because the house style of several publishers mandates it.

hypotheses –data : hypotheses
Function: noun.
1 a : an assumption or concession made for the sake of argument b : an interpretation of a practical situation or condition taken as the ground for action
2 : a tentative assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences
3 : the antecedent clause of a conditional statement
synonyms HYPOTHESIS, THEORY, LAW mean a formula derived by inference from scientific data that explains a principle operating in nature. HYPOTHESIS implies insufficient evidence to provide more than a tentative explanation <a hypothesis explaining the extinction of the dinosaurs>.

LAW implies a statement of order and relation in nature that has been found to be invariable under the same conditions <the law of gravitation>.

Function: noun.

calculations -- approximations: calculations
Function: noun.
1 a : the process or an act of calculating b : the result of an act of calculating
2 a : studied care in analyzing or planning b : cold heartless planning to promote self-interest

4 : a solution of a problem <more money is not the answer>
5 : one that imitates, matches, or corresponds to another <television's answer to the news magazines>
synonyms ANSWER, RESPONSE, REPLY, REJOINDER, RETORT mean something spoken, written, or done in return. ANSWER implies the satisfying of a question, demand, call, or need <had answers to all their questions>. RESPONSE may imply a quick or spontaneous reaction to a person or thing that serves as a stimulus <a response to the call for recruits>. REPLY often suggests a thorough response to all issues, points, or questions raised <a point-by-point reply to the accusation>. REJOINDER can be a response to a reply or to an objection <a salesman with a quick rejoinder to every argument>. RETORT implies a reaction to an implicit or explicit charge, criticism, or attack which contains a countercharge or counterattack <she made a cutting retort to her critics>.
