It's still bad journalism. Given the inherent nature of variances in garment manufacturing, individual fitment, and item cost, they should've at least done a sample size of 3.
Please also don't use The Wirecutter as an example of good journalism. It's the worst of a bad lot of Consumer Reports clones with all the disincentives of rapid-fire constant publication and ad-driven revenue. It was bad prior to the NYT acquisition, but it's "bottom of the barrel" atm.
Much akin to CNBC for securities, it's now just a source of noise and, occasionally, even negative signal.
- Terretta 2y agoThere's a difference between writing in your journal and doing research. One of these is just "reporting the news". Even the magazine is not called "Consumer Research".
- calmbonsai 2y agoI'm confused. - Are you comparing unpublished personal journaling with professional published journalism? - Are you saying a comparison garment sample of 2 for a single cohort has merit?
