NYT's article on traumatic encephalopathy in football players is astonishing. Astonishingly awful, I mean. I guess that's not astonishing, it's NYT. Shameless selection bias, and no control group!pic.twitter.com/jDOGJ8D8xa

Even given selection bias, isn't the number of false positives astonishingly low?
I dunno enough of the subject to say for sure.
I mean, NYT says 'many' but other sources are saying 'all', as in 'all the samples were players who died showing symptoms of brain pathology'. Encephalitis is a clear diagnosis, but *CT*E?
