    This appears to be an issue with accurate reporting. Considerations like this would make the data make a lot more sense.

    The problem is the interpretation by those running the study.

      I’m not sure I am perfectly following you—what should the authors have said?

      I am definitely mistakenly misreading you here, sorry for the inconvenience!

      (significantly edited to reflect my intent; also if any others could help me out, i don’t mean to bug this person and annoy them)

          edit: like what is “the problem” involved here? what are the journalists saying that is misleading?

            Yes, despite it being very simple and my having explained it clearly…

            sorry

            No, being “confusing and distracting” by muddying the waters was you whole point. You’re clearly arguing in bad faith. It’s just that I called you out.

            Facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood.
