A long article in the NYT about a dubious study on dubious scientific papers has by now close to 600 comments, More edifying and enjoyable than the article itself.

Mark Twain identified the weakness of statistics. All the soft sciences rely on statistics. The mistake made is in calling them "science" because they cannot stand the scrutiny of science. One work around is to call these "results" as correlations. Or better still, call them coincidences and leave it to Malcolm Gladwell to write an entertaining book.

Strange, a 2008 post on Madonna and A Rod   violated the community. Maybe they did. So now I will not be able to get any position in any university in most educated states. Or maybe there I can hope that id a few years...Note that the references are from the NYT, a publication not stranger to some past woke policies.

Community standards?  Community standards  are permanently evolving, but this is lost on the activists or some university managers. Strange. They forgot about the Chinese red guards public shaming methods..
