A very big problem with this study is that participants that don't delegate are not asked to do anything regarding cheating, while the ones that do are presented with various choices that influence them. "choosing a setting on a dial that ranged from ‘maximize accuracy’ to ‘maximize profit’". In this way, it doesn't "control" for anything.

E: this guy can't grasp the concept that left-to-right is arbitrary, which is really ironic given his point. Ok so in arabic it's exactly how this guy wants it, except no, the universally correct reading direction is left-to-right and arabic does it backwards just to be quirky🙄, and humans, just like programs, flip a bit to read it left-to-right, where it's the opposite of how you should be reading it! of course.

The Wikibooks book on statistics is surprisingly decent. Hopefully it inspires the reader to acknowledge that there are a lot more things to study apart from Bayes.

So perhaps one alternative way to estimate their quality is to check the number of citations, many have more than 100 citations, which is a sign of quality

Andrew Wakefield's 1998 paper has 457 citations on PubMed
