You are a scientist eh? Well, nothing is more irritating than people who take a single correlation, that under other statistical tests wouldn't even be significant, go 'ooh how dare you question the conclusion of this study'.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
But no one is saying that! I would certainly expect people to criticize the study with like, you know, legitimate criticism though??

But I think most people are calling bullshit on the notion that the length of ring finger will likely predict penis length. They did find a correlation in the study...but it doesn't substantiate the hypothesis in any meaningful way. But, yeah, I do see where you're coming from. The study is definitely not pseudoscience.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-27 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Of course just because the study isn't psuedoscience doesn't mean it's not bullshit

DA: Agreed. Correlation does not equal causation, hence why the theory is just a theory. Theories aren't Bullshit except when hen they cite themselves as fact that's when they become BS. The paper is just a theory with correlation, it's not a scientific fact, but it's still scientific theory showing correlations/trends.

I'm a Scientist who has found enough papers that hide, exaggerate and manipulate stats . As they say there are three types of lies, the last being damned stats. And some which had been completely wrong all together.
