I wonder how the data is treated statistically. If 99% of millionaires have consumed alcohol, does consuming alcohol increase the chance of becoming a millionaire!?



The question is, how much alcohol did they consume before becoming a millionaire, compared to the rest of the population. It might actually be less.


Do you think researchers are idiots?


A significant proportion of them are, unless you assume that proportion is just blatantly dishonest.

Most idiotic Hacker News take yet.


Alright well you can call me names or you can talk about it. Do you have the intelligence and understanding to have a discussion or do you just want to screech insults at people on the internet?


Nope, I'm not interested in discussing anything with people who think "a significant proportion" of all researchers are idiots.


Being a researcher is not an immediate admission to being honest, integral and intelligent.
