[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2389049, member: 2205"] No, you haven't assessed [b]anything[/b] scientifically. You've said that his experiments are not scientific, which while likely true, you can't actually [b]know[/b] because very little of his experimental methods have been described. You then proceeded to add in your own anecdotal evidence, and seemingly claim that your experience is a valid sample size to extrapoliate for the entire population--which as a statistician you should know better than to do--and said, "trust me, I'm a statistician." All this despite the fact that no evidence of any statistical or experimental studies or analysis [b]you've[/b] done have been at all forthcoming. You're own posts have been considerably [b]less[/b] scientific than anything Dancey has said, so you've done a very poor job of convincing anyone that your "credentials" have any bearing on anything, or that your "arguments" are any more compelling that anything anyone else has said on the topic.
