"In the context of your comment it is implied that you believe the "study" in question does have a representative subset."
No. I was replying to the specific objections the parent poster had.
I never said or implied anything about whether I thought it was a good study or not.
- fouric 5y agoClearly, several people (including me) think that you did imply it - so, regardless of whether or not you intended to do so, that's what you communicated in your post. In particular, the way in which you mentioned extrapolation in the context of the study (and the conversation in general) carried the implication that the extrapolation was valid.
