We employ the turbulent nature of the magnetic field in the solar photosphere to constrain interpretations of Zeeman-polarimetry-based observations. Using higher Reynolds number, more turbulent, simulations of the solar convection zone than have previously been reported, we compare the distribution and cancellation statistics of the magnetic field itself with the statistics derived from simulated Stokes profiles. A favorable comparison between the cancellation statistics of the observables and the field allow for a prediction at the approximated magnetic Reynolds number of the sun, ReM = 1e6, and a comparison with Hinode observations. The difference between the probability distribution functions (PDFs) from simulations, Zeeman-based polarimetry, and interpretations of the Hanle effect are also examined and a possible explanation is suggested.
