  There’s certainly a lot to discuss, relative to experimental design and ethics. Peer review and good design hopefully minimizes the clearly undesirable scenarios you describe as well as other subtle sources of error.

  I was really just trying to explain what we’re looking at on op’s graph.

  My limited knowledge on this subject: The z-score is how many standard deviations you are from the mean.

  In statistical analysis, things are often evaluated against a p (probability) of 0.05 (or 5%), which also corresponds to a z-score of 1.96 (or roughly 2).

  So, when you’re looking at your data, things with a z score >2 or <2 would correspond to findings that are “statistically significant,” in that you’re at least 95% sure that your findings aren’t due to random chance.

  As others here have pointed out, z-scores closer to 0 would correspond to findings where they couldn’t be confident that whatever was being tested was any different than the control, akin to a boring paper which wouldn’t be published. "We tried some stuff but idk, didn’t seem to make a difference.*

  I remember hearing years ago how the M1 Abrams was a battlefield domination machine that could only be killed by another M1. That was clearly propaganda. Those overweight, overpriced pieces of shit got lit the fuck up after being shipped to Ukraine.

  I think they just peered over the edge and were convinced when they saw sphincter after sphincter.

  I certainly hope you’re right.

  This is more like a chart of, “does being smart keep you above the poverty line?”

  I’d say the silliness seen here goes hand-in-hand with curiosity and intelligence, which makes them clever and effective hunters. This type of derpiness also earns them a rent free spot in monkey houses. So, dumb as it may seem, this is actually a very fit behavior.

  It’s fun to pee at full power, but that’s how you end up with a varicose vein in your testicle.

  Genuinely don’t understand his this guy isn’t as bad, if not far worse than whoever shot Charlie Kirk.

  Pretty cool that those decorative roof spur things actually went back to functioning as the angle-of-vulnerability reducing structures, rather than styling elements.
