@owner @RustyBertrand Had a quick perusal, will look more carefully tomorrow, but at first sight the use of the word false is highly misleading - much in the same way that tabloid headlines frequently are.

@Wen @RustyBertrand If you go into any journal of applied statistics, look up metascience papers and regression to the mean. It's amazing how many papers in some fields prove later to be false. Big data mining fields like genomics are by far the worst.
