the error bar says
if you run a company selling something, a good way to get a yard of free newspaper columns advertising your product is to get a scientist from Oxford to write a scientific report about how to use your product, then to release that report, on the World Day for your product, then tease the press and the public with insufficient information about sample sizes, experimental designs, or standard deviations
that's what happened on World Biscuit Day, as reported in all the media last week
i ran out of patience on this story, dear listener - virtually every newspaper and science website ran a story about how it's better to eat biscuits with the chocolate down, and every article mentioned 'a report' or 'the report' that was released by the company, whose name i am withholding. but i could not find that report or a link to it anywhere. it's a phantom
the biscuit science has been suppressed. will we ever know the truth?
[editorial comment, 1st October 2021: the biscuit science was revealed exclusively to me by Dr Hark Mazaltov, who found the evidence here]
