Scientific paper

Our view of the properties of galaxies is strongly affected by the way in
which we survey for them. I discuss some aspects of selection effects and
methods to compensate for them. One result is an estimate of the surface
brightness distribution. I believe this is progress, but considerable
uncertainty remains.
