Scientific Studies by John Oliver

[Zug]

Hey everybody, hope everything is Ok. More than once I've seen people on this Forum talking about a media article about a scientific study, or even searching the web for one or another paper to prove or disprove an argument. I tried to argue once or twice but it is difficult to talk about p-value manipulation, data mining etc. on topics that people already have some kind of emotional investment. That's why I'll post it here.

John Oliver is a comedian, but I advise everyone to watch this video. Watch it, and think about it the next time you see some "science" development here, or anywhere else.



Best,
Zug
