      Sample quality is relative. Can always say "you should studied population X" & no matter how good the sample, it's now biased wrt that pop.

      @seanjtaylor Yes, not first study to oversell but double whammy because overgeneralized framing aligns with PR needs of parent corporation.

      @zeynep @seanjtaylor incidentally, your example of election polls isn't one of random sampling--N=people home & willing to answer phone, etc

      @zeynep @seanjtaylor truly random sampling hard. Best recent example that comes to mind ironically mood contagion experiment.

      @MichelleNMeyer @seanjtaylor Contagion study random in terms of experimental designation, not random representation of Facebook. Different.

      @zeynep @seanjtaylor 700K were randomly selected by FB ID from among all who view FB in English--a rep sample of Englsh-viewing FB users no?

      @zeynep @seanjtaylor course study analyzing text couldn't have been done w/users who produced no text. So results perhaps not gen to lurkers

      @zeynep @seanjtaylor broader point: sci is virtually never abt 1 study. All together paint picture of effect size, direction, bounds, etc.

      @MichelleNMeyer @seanjtaylor Could've been fixed with three-four words. Given parent corp PR interests, the omission is troublesome.

          @MichelleNMeyer @seanjtaylor (Also needed more reflection on how the sample selection might impact mechanism being studied, common problem).

          @zeynep @seanjtaylor I share concern about oversold/misleading pubs, of course, tho can't say in my experience FB has market cornered ;)

          @MichelleNMeyer @seanjtaylor Heck, no. :-) But special case when corporate PR interests align with oversold conclusion.
