Wouldn't that expose more correlations that aren't proven to be causative?
- viraptor 6y agoThere's some weird correlation in everything. That's half the numerology. Various correlations can also be useful in meta analysis (if you find some trend across many studies you can run a test for it specifically). Not publishing the raw data just in case someone doesn't know how to interpret the data is not a solution to anything.
