That is the most retarded bit of research I've ever seen.

No offence to the OP but you must see how many errors are introduced by the study method.

Restricting any sample to a portion of total compromises any study.

The study proved a few things but it DOESNT prove the startlingly bold final conclusion.

I take it you plan on never taking any new medications if you're sick then? Considering that for a new drug to get past phase III clinical trials you typically only need around 5000 people out of millions, potentially billions of customers I can't imagine you'd trust any drug until it'd been on the market for at least 10 years.

Its not the size its just that for my money, its an unrepresentative sample (I should have been clearer)

The games that score low on metacritic are just as valid an entry as those that score highly.

To use the sample as the basis for the conclusion is risable.
