HPFitis is use of HPF (high-power field) without proper qualification, i.e. without giving the field area.
Its etiology is thought to be either:
- Ignorance of statistics and sampling theory.
- Laziness.
- A combination of the above two.
It appears to have a higher incidence in math phobic individuals.
