I'm so glad I didn't see that. I hate just now easy it is for things to get published and, worse, draw media attention.
Although if I had to guess, it isn't the sample size and sds so much as drawing stupid conclusions from correlations without using controls for things that actually lead to depression and addiction. (Like the wine is good for you studies that ignore the benefits of wealth, ugh)
Reading about medical research on trans people: "4 of the 16 patients studied...." Like why are we even doing rhis
Usually case studies and smaller studies like that help to inform hypotheses and gather information about potential issues or confounding variables before running larger or full scale experiments. They're also cheaper and can help with garnering interest and investment
I'm currently trying to get a small study accepted into a conference made by my wife and myself, seconding this comment
Hey man, I had a time limit on my project so it wasn't like I could've done all the experiments I wanted, okay? I did the best with what I had...
I think I might've taken this a little too personally
Same bro
