dendrochronological

When comparing radiocarbon dates with dates derived from tree rings, known as dendrochronological dating, the dates only agree accurately as far back as A.D. 640, and only generally well back to the time of Christ.

Correctly identifying the point at which an otherwise useful dendrochronological temperature proxy model goes off the rails, so they can stop using it as part of their derived model, is also perfectly correct; that's what you're supposed to do with informational proxies.

Another important result of dendrochronological dating of large samples of subfossil wood is the ability to calculate the relative abundance of Siberian spruce in forest stands of the area, which is an index or proxy for the degree of continentality of the climate.

What would it mean if there was a close matching between the dendrochronological work and the uncorrected temperature record?

All the current dendrochronological verification tests except the CE statistic are described in Fritts 1976, which uses the term Reduction of Error RE.

I said that that factor alone doomed the “science” of dendrochronological temperature reconstruction using the current methods.

Remarkably DWJ06 make the same point: thus we have the remarkable situation of two dendrochronological studies published in the same week, making completely opposite claims about the correlation of bristlecones and foxtails to gridcell temperature.

This, however, requires experience with dendrochronological samplings and chronology development.

When, a while ago, you started the thread about the upside-down quadratic nature of the temperature-ring width relationship, I said that that factor alone doomed the “science” of dendrochronological temperature reconstruction using the current methods.
