I disagree.

You're not going to find the parameter which makes a high school nutrition program deterministic. It shouldn't be the goal.

That’s a strawman. Reproducibility does not require determinism.

If you can’t find the parameters that make it reproducible, what value does it have in the first place?

Which means you can’t generalize to other high schools. If the scientific result doesn’t generalize, is it still science? How can we use the science to improve HS nutrition?
