Strong men are socialist, reports study that previously reported the opposite – Put A Number On It!
In fact, if you test 20 hypothesis you don’t need to even bother
collecting data to get a p-value of 0.05, the number of hypotheses
virtually guarantees it.
I didn’t edit any of the data. I didn’t throw out any data points as
“outliers”. I used the same technique (linear regression) with the
same data set used by the researchers, and I reached the opposite
conclusion with a p-value that’s 5 times more significant. It took me
less than two hours.
That’s the power of multiplicity – it can “prove” any hypothesis you throw at it, and the opposite of that hypothesis as well.
