You are right but having stats background it get's tiresome looking at how people are abusing the craft. There is obviously little harm from a "study" like this, but this sad state of things affects much more critical areas like medical field. You see so much of misuse and misapplication makes you angry after a while.
- Hondor 11y agoYou're assuming your points were valid. Since you didn't really argue them, they might not be. In that case, you aren't justified in getting angry at this article any more than you are in getting angry at every paper using stats ever published. Perhaps this is one of the rare good ones.
