And the most useful line: "I was making two cardinal mistakes in my approach to this startling scientific development: 1) I trusted my limited anecdotal evidence over a statistically valid scientific study, and 2) I based my understanding of the science on a journalist’s description of a technical paper."

- Prrometheus 19y agoThis doesn’t invalidate the observation that it would be an interesting topic for a proper study.
