This is so good! Gelman's comments on the study are a better HN post than this article. This is important stuff - you can already see people researching air filters in other comments, taking the supposed results of this study as settle

I don't think it's that crazy actually. In some far future scenario one could see Boeing going into bankruptcy protection (a lot would need to happen to get to that point), after which the healthy parts like the defense related di

The real alternative was a coalition government, surely?

I guess it doesn't matter, after all that time, that poor Maskelyne's name gets destroyed for the sake of a good story.
