Yes as I said there are a lot of awful studies. This one is particularly worthless tho, for a number of reasons not limited to the one that you want to ignore for some reason

I'm not ignoring it. I stated that it was worth contacting the author and figuring it out, but before that step, it's not a reason to suggest "worthless".

That's one element of quality. It's not even the only thing that I pointed out in this thread. Other issues are the lack of reporting of potential confounders, the inadequate control group, the lack of reporting generally, the contradictions btwn pre-reg and study...

Unless there is a reason to believe confounders skew one direction, magically, missed confounders are understood not to have a significant effect on such computed p-values. In fact, that's the point of a p-value: it only asks the question of whether the results happen at random.

By definition a confounder skews in one direction, otherwise it does not confound the relationship and is not a confounder

A confounder skews in one direction *internally* to a single study, but those wash out at high numbers of studies/coin flips. What you need are global confounders to make the argument.

Gid, there's a point at which you have to accept that some anon pulling out random statistical words and claiming to be a statistician... isn't. I'm not spending more of my Saturday on this.

Dismissing me as "anon" and claiming my words are "random" is going to hurt your credibility, not mine. Walk into a math major's lounge at any top-25 university in the world, and they'll know me. That's who buys my books.

Which books have you written? Anyone in the world could make that claim

Yes, anyone could make that claim. And anyone can make the claims you've been making here. But I've taken the step to invite you to walk through math on camera with me. So...?

Lol why would I appear on camera with an anonymous random who has spent a few hours being patronisingly wrong at me on Twitter?
