I wonder how the data is treated statistically. If 99% of millionaires have consumed alcohol, does consuming alcohol increase the chance of becoming a millionaire!?
- layer8 4y agoThe question is, how much alcohol did they consume before becoming a millionaire, compared to the rest of the population. It might actually be less.

- drukenemo 4y agoBeing a researcher is not an immediate admission to being honest, integral and intelligent.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoA significant proportion of them are, unless you assume that proportion is just blatantly dishonest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

- friend_and_foe 4y agoAlright well you can call me names or you can talk about it. Do you have the intelligence and understanding to have a discussion or do you just want to screech insults at people on the internet?
- bjourne 4y agoNope, I'm not interested in discussing anything with people who think "a significant proportion" of all researchers are idiots.
