You don't think one of the world's foremost statisticians should have felt that he was qualified to participate in a purely statistical argument?
- michaelmrose 2y agoNo because it was medical as well. Anyone who thought it was purely statistical was by that thought alone unqualified
- thaumasiotes 2y agoWhat's the medical part of the argument?
- michaelmrose 2y agoAre we getting stuck on terminology whereby you don't think the long term effect of a chemical on a body insofar as its connection with a known disease is a medical matter?
- michaelmrose 2y agoMedicine is literally chemistry and biology as applied to human health. I'm not stuck on anything you in this subthread appear to be. It's pretty obvious that someone without deep domain knowledge is should scarcely be trusted to tie their own shoe let alone contradict actual experts.
