  1. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

       “It is simplicity itself,” said [Holmes]; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.
       “As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.
       I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician

    Why is everyone dismissing about someone's conspiring to a bunch of conspiracy theory peddlers?

    Meanwhile, before , guys. Not the other way around! Don't spin the and the motive and then try to shoehorn the evidence into it. It must be Evidence, MO and motive, in that order. Let the conclusions flow from the facts.

    While not expressing disagreement or agreement with the #study's #conclusions, the #experiment design included some features that make it difficult to #generalize from.

    For example, they eliminated those homeless with a history of #substance #abuse. That by itself makes the #headline claims a bit suspect, or at least not clearly #supported by evidence.

  4. I'm sitting here trying to finish the presentation on #GPUSPH to be presented at #SIMAI2023 next week, and while the thing is “done” overall, I can't think of anything to put on the #conclusions (final slide). I'm stymied.

    Hypothetically, if you happened to have a perfect fly-on-the-wall recording of those discussions, I strongly suspect you would hear all of those factors discussed.

    What I suspect you would not hear would be "They're First Nations people, so let's not search for their remains".

  6. I would LOVE to know how #tooters are coming to these #conclusions with this particular #poll. I find the #analytical aspect of how ppl's #minds work to be a fascinating subject. Wondering how much of it is based on #perception vs. #logical #deductive #reasoning #skills.🤣 Hint: If you check my #toots & #profile #bio, you'll have better luck with your guesses.😉 #dataanalysis #data #analysis

  7. apple.news/AQ9AZHb8-SquLoUrXid I think findings like this get blurred by people with only limited and pseudoscientific understandings of #research, #studies, #metaanalysis, etc. #Science, like many things, does NOT exist in a vacuum, and the point this article makes about #conclusions constantly being challenged and updated is very #important to remember. The biggest issue is that it's far easier to take a stance on an issue

  8. A quotation from Levine, Emily:

    «««««
    When you’re surrounded by people who share the same set of assumptions as you, you start to think that’s reality.
