You could say that scientists have a compulsion to fold things, but that would be unfair. Scientists have a compulsion to fold things a specified number of times. (Screenshot: quasirandom selection from papers I've recently read.)

text excerpts:

"The importance of the results from Study I are threefold."

"The argument against class criterion-oriented psychometrics is thus two-fold."

"the number of pharmacies distributing buprenorphine was 43.1-fold greater than OTPs distributing methadone in 2010. However, this ratio decreased to 33.3-fold in 2021."

"MOR agonist that is 100-fold more potent than morphine"

"Aims were threefold.  In study one..."

"The aim of the simulation study was threefold."

"two-fold higher than crystal MDMA"
