@freemo Imagine thinking meta-analysis is good science and not just a way to push preconceived notions through cherry picking and statistical manipulation.
@Zettour
Imagine thinking a propaganda meme is stronger evidence than a body of collected, replicated, peer reviewed data
Nope, its happened hundreds of times on the fedi and most of the time for studies that arent particularly controversial.
@freemo @Zettour Ok, then that's harder for me to argue against. I've known instances where headline says X, but if you actually read the study you find less definite language and a small sample size. Furthermore, even then, that study would count as one sample. Only when someone else reproduces it would it become two, and so forth.
