Ignoring the topic of the linked article* I'd argue that there's examples of being too cautious as well. There's a lot of good that we could have done with GMO that is not being done because of very restrictive regulation. Ir

Sample size is relevant to which opinions to form. But I think the GP wanted to point out that just having a small sample size does not invalidate the results of a study given equal confidence scores. It's a common misconception that t

It very certainly is. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to sell you something. However, as most people do not count their calories (an underrated activity I'd say, it makes weight control trivially simple if you ca

The fact that someone, in 2017, would imply that addicted people could just decide to stop being addicted seems to me as reason enough to keep calling it a disease. Just to fight that notion.

I think it get's slightly confusing since growth mindset is something that can exist in both the teacher and the student. So, growth mindset is the belief that you can get better at things. The idea then is that the teacher should embr

I used my student super powers on that and now have the answer! There was actually 4 similar studies described in the article. But the first one is the most important. The setup was that the kid would watch a video where a toy was hidden in

Tape measure and formulas is better than both weight and BMI. And while the errors can be large for some, you won't mistakenly think you are fit at 35% nor fat at 10% using them. There's actually not very much good knowledge out t

But how can advice for winning a game be either bad or good if you will win whatever you do? That's the part I don't understand.

Ok, I must have read something wrong, but what they are saying is that children put more trust in people giving them useful clues than people giving them not useful clues. Something that seems quite reasonable. Which makes me confused by th

I think no one could argue that the creators index does not in any way reflect their values. But that doesn't make GDP any better as a measure. Think of it this way, what country would you have liked to be randomly born into the most?

I gotta wonder, do you actually have such confidence yourself that you assume that everything other people _does not_ comment was good? If so congratulations! A suggestion though, on how you could improve the confidence in people like me -

Science on science, it's a thing. Also named Theory of Science, it studies Science from a philosophical view and brings up questions like "If we have measured something to be the same 10000 times, can we be sure it will be same th
