yep

Or people become less open to other alternatives.

any article studying bipolar disorder (as that is the active example) not finding a hereditary factor above 0.7 will not be published in the esteemed journals.

It still seems like the use is there, but they should be a little more skeptic.

more evidence exists - probably - pointing to non hereditary factors, but that is squelched by the Journals.

@Maw Its a balance and a golden middle, like anything else.

That, to me, sounds like you report a value for gravity that isn't 9.81, which isn't uncommon, depending on where you are on the Earth.

Sometimes who Publishes Research Findings becomes more important than the Finding themselves.

@William Dinan, you just advanced to level 9!

And people respond with "what's this paganism?!"

@Maw somewhat more complicated. This situation is like if gravity varied with who is doing the measurements.

@William Dinan exactly

That is exactly what I'm saying @Doc As it's entirely relative to where you are.

9.81 is the average.

(But not the mean, pretty sure)

and any medical professor have to remove himself from the clinic for 10-20 years just to become one. So the profs will be those least in line with what is happinging on the floor, @William Dinan

@Maw right

Or was it specifically at sea-level? I forgot.

Probably the latter.

Also relative to the location of the moon.

It's complex.

there you go. Polyfactorial, @Maw

And how dense the area around you is.

There are a lot of factors, but many are not huge changes.

It's a massive issue of scale.

Even Temp

temperature

Depending on how precise you need to be, those issues of scale become more and more relevant.

E.g: Ballistics.

Versus engineering.

I have to stop procrastinating now, and get some shit done. Yes. It is shit. It is literary references for a report. 😭

ew

Good luck!

Good talk, see you later.

[im not saying thanks, as that is considered bad luck]

Did my well-wishes respond with a bad outcome yesterday at the range?

@Maw ???

Then you have Zuckerberg's "Get out the Vote" handing hundreds of millions of dollars to Democrats and democratic geographic areas actually placing 'mail drop-off your vote boxes all over w/o any security.
Then you have Mayor Rudy with a great Law lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJlzAgadYtk

@Roberto Hurstez, you just advanced to level 1!

I would like to propose a thought experiment. Let's stipulate the following:

1) There was absolutely fraud... There always is some fraud. Some get caught some don't. I believe that there are people on both sides of the political spectrum that are willing to do what it takes to help their chosen candidate win. I think it has been that way for a long time. It sucks and every single one that is caught should be prosecuted. I think that most election officials know that this is going to happen and while they'll do everything they can to prevent it, they will spend the majority of that effort to prevent wide-spread fraud, because they know that ultimately the small time fraud is a zero sum game as neither side is more or less likely to partake.

2) President Trump has told his supporters repeatedly for at least 7 months that there would be massive fraud and that the only way he would lose is if Biden and/or his supporters cheated.

3) After the 2016 election, the DHS has been working to make elections more secure. In 2018, Trump formalized this effort by creating the CISA group and handpicked Chris Krebs to head it. This group established standards for voter equipment certification, implemented sophisticated anti-hacking measures, implemented video surveillance at counting facilities (many live-streamed), encouraged states to replace systems that didn't have paper ballot backups that could be used to verify the electronic vote tallies.

4) With recounts in GA and WI showing that the paper ballots match the electronically tabulated totals, if votes were flipped, someone had to have replaced real paper ballots for Trump with fake ballots for Biden (either leaving down-ballot races blank or guessing on likely down-ballot votes hoping it would be close enough) - either between the time they were cast and when they were tabulated (no flipping via Dominion needed) or after tabulation to match any flipped votes by precinct.
