- isaacfrond 7mo agoI wouldn't either. The difference for female and males reeks of the law of small numbers.

- tgv 7mo agoEven if the data is truly representative and unbiased, we should also not believe conclusions that draw so heavily on interpreting correlation. One could just as well conclude that male intelligence and beauty go hand in hand. Or that men have a better relationship with the teacher. Or that the effect of female beauty fades with distance. Or that COVID had an effect on make-up style. The confounds are endless.
