The reliability of values of the fundamental properties of stars derived from eclipsing binary analysis is discussed in terms of general concepts. Since the principles involved in the determination of masses and radii are simple, the heart of the matter is the care and judgment with which the relevant spectrographic and photometric observations are obtained and analyzed. Problems in the evaluation of the radiative properties require special attention.
