Repeated measurements, bilateral observations and pseudoreplicates, why does it matter?

Ranstam, Jonas LU (2012) In Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 20(6). p.473-475
Abstract
A common requirement of statistical methods, critical to the interpretation of the data, is that the analyzed observations are independent. This is not always the case in experiments and clinical studies, a mistake which can be expected to lead to erroneous study results. The phenomenon is explained, its consequences described, and suggestions to avoid the problems presented.
