I think learning how data can be skewered changed my life because now I second guess EVERY STUDY. Because lots of times they make claims due to skewing data in their favor, and will have like less than 100 subjects??

It’s also why I hesitate to trust studies done by brands on their own product because you know that shit is skewed and biased as hell. Also, those stupid little random studies that @pubity on insta posts are always lacking everything needed to make the claims they’re making

the more ive learned about statistics the less i trust random stats without explanation too because you can prove anything with your data if you use the test that produces results you support
