    You increase the sample size, you increase the number of hits.

    Do you think statisticians aren’t well aware of this?

      I am a fucking statistician. And you need a fucking control group to establish causality.

      Gtfo if you don’t understand this basic principle.

      The article and your argument are both entirely devoid of substance.

        If the statisticians involved in this case study are anywhere close to as unhinged as you are then it’s no wonder they got those results lol

          Homie been smokin’ them data science rocks, it seems.

          Literally made an account on this instance just to let them know I think they’re fucking dense, but I decided they’re not even worth interacting with personally.
