It says 55 conditions are correlated with the month, out of 1688. That's a rather small effect. The skepticism is well-warranted IMO. Also 39 of them have been shown to exist before this study so this is not strictly new knowledge either.
- matthewmacleod 11y agoI don't quite understand your point – the number of conditions that are correlated isn't related to the effect size, is it? I know it's not new knowledge – that's kind of why I'm unsure about the skepticism. We know that these effects already exists, and this is a wider-scale analysis of potential instances of those effects.
