Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes (2014)
- magicalhippo 6y agoHere I was, reading the headline thinking the reason was that scientists had a bias in their naming, and getting confused as I thought they had some rules for naming them. But no, the claim is people think female hurricanes are more cuddly than male huricanes, so don't prepare as well.
- alexf95 6y agoIntresting paper, but not sure if this should be taken as "common knowledge" the sample size of this study was rather low so take it with a grain of salt.
- seesawtron 6y agoThis paper is an example of spurious correlations that appear because of selection-distortion effect and makes the authors come up with "believable" causes ti justfiy them.
