An article that mentions a study.
Comment claiming the sample size is too small.
A horde of Statistics 101 graduates get in a tizzy and have to explain why the sample size isn't actually too small in reality.
People argue back and forth about sample sizes.
Discussion about the article itself gets massively derailed.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
Sorry, it's just become so common I expect it every time there's an article about semi-controversial study and I almost always see it.
