      This Health Nerd guy seems to be truly a strange case. Makes loud pretentious claims, then crumbles under pushback. Anyone have the details on what's going on? I'll make this a mini-thread with the various clues I've seen so far in case anyone has more to bring to the table.https://twitter.com/EduEngineer/status/1431518045088923649 …

      https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1431552008658440192?s=19 … How can you think your tweet has validity if even within your thread @GidMK retweets a @K_Sheldrick tweet which shows how @EduEngineer handles an invitation?

      Lol, he doesn't have a great record of following through. Just wants to debate straw men that are tediously wrong and then blocks people who point this out https://twitter.com/K_Sheldrick/status/1431530150068252673?s=19 …

      Yes it's quite funny - he will only agree to a debate on weird straw men that aren't really the issue, and then gets very upset when you try to bring the discussion back to actual questions (hence the blocking)

          Justin Clarke Retweeted Rounding the Earth

          For those of us who followed the thread your claim of ‘weird straw man’ is provably false? The crux of the confusion where you and Kyle seemed to fail to appreciate local / global confounder issues he was raising, and doubled down on a wrong position:https://mobile.twitter.com/EduEngineer/status/1431514383012794368 …

          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.

          He made what appeared to be a simple clarifying statement about local / global confounder impacts, at which point you asserted it was incorrect, and then you and Kyle both appeared to keep digging?https://mobile.twitter.com/EduEngineer/status/1431514908487790594 …

          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.
