The formulas which give the standard errors of factor loading estimates while available and computable are complicated and our understanding of them is limited. A nontechnical description of their behavior under favorable and unfavorable conditions is given. Of particular interest is their behavior in the presence of singularities arising from equal eigenvalues and undefined rotation.
