Sounds like I don't know nearly as as you... I minored in stats 20+ years ago, but since then I do a lot more arguing about stats than actually using them for work. You're kinda right about one thing, though... I am definitely talking down to OP, and a couple of other folks. I'm frustrated. There are real problems in how science uses statistics, and it sounds like OP & co have heard about those problems. But the way they talk about this study, they're just throwing crap against the wall to have something to say. They don't really seem to understand the problems they're talking about, or how those problems apply to the study we're currently talking about. I should change my attitude, and stop taking out my frustrations on these folks. If they're wrong, I'm probably not going to change their minds by insulting them.
