I read the article and it didn't sound like any point they were making couldn't be explained as 'well we were in a pandemic during that time, and also people shifted to working from home more, so they weren't forced to move as much'.
Even the uptick in 2022 can be explained with 'well we were coming out of a pandemic, and there was an RTO push, but still bad habits are from before are hard to break'.
- JeffSnazzy 3y agoAs with all research, the point is not so much the explanation as the collection of data.
- bartwr 3y agoWait, what? This is literally not the point of research. The point of research is to form some theory and gather data that is relevant, and then analyze statistically. Plus propose follow up theories and studies. This is how almost every research publication in every field - from medicine, through psychology, to computer science looks like.
- vcxy 3y agoThe article says that biking increased and walking decreased. I don't think I can explain those things simultaneously with just "well we were in a pandemic during that time."
