Every post here is fully of pop pseudo-science, double-digit sample sizes, correlation/causation fallacies, double-digit sample sizes, confirmation biases, conflicts of interests, fucking double-digit sample sizes, and every other fallacy, bias, and problem you could think of. Where’s the real science with actual provable conclusions, perfectly peer-reviewed, and has an appropriately large sample size?!
