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?

Because you say "wrong" and I say "let's see what the math shows". I think most people understand what role veracity plays at this point.

You have been insultingly wrong every time you've tweeted at me for hours, if you want me to appear on a video with you you'd have to at least say things that aren't totally incorrect. It would also help if you weren't rude

I've been far less insulting of you than you were to the author of the website that is the source of this thread. I've simply pointed out when you were incorrect, and where we disagree, I will be glad to talk it out on a recorded video. Politely.

Why would you care if I was rude to the anonymous authors of a pseudo-scientific website? Do you know them personally?
