study relies on SELF REPORTING, need I say more?
- ZoFreX 11y agoWhat would we prefer, a study that relies on self-reporting but is a study nonetheless, or a bunch of theories based on entirely on anecdotes with a sample size of 1? I get this study isn't perfect but it seems silly that so many commenters here are disregarding it entirely yet are perfectly happy to listen to completely untested theories from people with no expertise whatsoever in the field.
- rasz_pl 11y agoWe do know that self reporting is flawed, just ask your chubby "dieting" friend about donuts.
