Yes, the dude is a crazy looking Brit. But he's a doc, and just make it to his point, which makes me never want to take medication.< http://www.ted.com/talks....be.html > Posted by TPRJones on Nov. 14 2012,16:39
That's why you always have to consider sample size when reading a study. If the sample size is big enough the freaks are averaged out. Too many studies don't have nearly a big enough sample size, though.EDIT: Oh, and I bet this is also a problem in climate research for the past couple of decades.
