Completely rewrite a paragraph regarding the rationale for a dissertation on blood spatter analysis and the influence of the characteristics of the deposition material on analysis using all of the following points: Lack of Standardization: Despite its established practice, there is currently no standardized approach employed by blood pattern analysts. Need for Standards: The National Research Council's report (2009) recommended the introduction of accuracy and reliability metrics across all major forensic science disciplines. Subjective Conclusions: Presently, conclusions drawn by bloodstain pattern analysts are often subjective rather than based on scientifically founded methods. Ambiguities: There are significant ambiguities associated with bloodstain pattern analysis, which undermines its reliability (National Research Council, 2009). Role in Accuracy: While contextual bias is significant, it is not the sole factor affecting the accuracy of blood spatter analysis, as multiple challenges exist. Contradictory Conclusions: The study revealed that 7.8% of the answers provided by analysts were contradictory to the conclusions of other analysts (Hicklin et al., 2021)
