  1. Oh it's vox…  kind of like fox, but from the other side of the street.  

  2. What's that have to do with anything?

  3. Like fox, the authors tend to interpret data in a way that supports how they see things.  That's all. 

  4. Vox didn't do the study so whether or not they're as biased as Fox is irrelevant.

    That is, it's irrelevant unless you're trying to muddy the waters to grind a personal axe.

  5. Neither.  Just being cautious about data sources.  

  6. Did anyone actually read this article? The premise of the research is basically that they took a statistical model from biology and applied it to a completely unrelated field and someone had taken one number from it and creates a click bait headline.

    Your stuff is usually a lot more solid than this, Dustin!
