- Luc 7y agoThis is so good! Gelman's comments on the study are a better HN post than this article. This is important stuff - you can already see people researching air filters in other comments, taking the supposed results of this study as settled truth.
- Someone1234 7y agoI'd just like to say, before the mods change the thread link, that the original article is important to understand the context of why air filters were installed. Even if the Vox article is potentially flawed you need to read both to grasp the full picture.

- dang 7y agoA thread on Gelman's article is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22006595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22006595. Normally we'd merge these submissions but the topics are sufficiently different that I think that might add confusion. I've moved most of the comments from this subthread to that one, though. All: if you want to comment on the Gelman article, please do so in the other thread, where your comment will feel more at home and get more attention.
