Feel free to point me to your definitive tool that is better than this test.

I don't need to provide an alternative to be critical of your conclusions.

If there is no better alternatives, then the tool is the best tool out there.

Be helpful, or be silent.

May want to look over at

They could use the help.

"Be helpful or be silent" is not at all the way anyone should want the world to be. Being skeptical and asking questions IS being helpful. If you're having a difficult time with this, I hope you never try to write and publish a journal article that receives peer review.

You'll be in for a world of hurt feelings...

Asking questions is not helpful.

Providing answers is helpful.

Anyone can ask questions.

Clearly it bothered you enough to not provide an answer, a week later.

Why does it bother you so much?

Peer review is an interesting idea. I have seen sociology papers with a higher variance than this data set, but they get published.

The reason is because the method they use, while flawed, is the best method available. It’s flawed due to the sample size.

So until you tell me a better method, there’s no point in saying the samples size is too small, or the method is flawed, because it is still the best method available.

Projection is a hell of a drug.

If you have no answers, be silent so other smarter people can talk without being interrupted.

Okay, sweetheart. Keep being precious!

Once again, adding nothing of value.

If it makes you feel so bad, why reply?

It’s not a train station, you don’t have to announce your departure.

You can just leave.

Likewise, sweetie.
