The study you are defending is not blinded, controlled, or randomly sampled. Use your brain for a second instead of reacting instinctively. Do you really think this oneoff paper was the result of a 10-year longitudinal study?
In fact, the hypothetical study you are describing would cost millions of dollars, never pass an IRB or be consented by parents.
Please try to update your priors.
- vidarh 3y agoThere's a great deal of irony of this criticism coming from someone claiming to know better than this study while providing nothing to back up your dismissal.
- justrealist 3y agoI dismiss this study because I have children and I am not a moron.
- vidarh 3y agoI don't dismiss this study because I have children, and I'm not a moron who will dismiss a study based on anecdotes. I also don't blindly trust it, but it has far more weight than anecdotes about correlations.
- kspacewalk2 3y agoWhat gets you in a spot of bother, I think, is reading what you think your interlocutor says, instead of reading what they actually say. I was, from the start, merely objecting to your amusingly cavalier use of the phrase "obviously not true". I never did claim I take the study in question as gospel, nor did I claim it's blinded, controlled, or randomly sampled, now did I?
