> This misses the forest for the trees.

In a large enough forest, there's always one or two randomly weird trees.

yeah but there isn't a cluster of 100 trees, all sharing the same religion. they are a cluster, the Adventists, that is.

  • Big enough forest - say, eight billion or so trees - there'll absolutely be 100 weird trees in a spot somewhere.

    If Adventists have cracked the code for longevity, you'd find their other congregations with similar benefits. Barring that, we're just p-hacking our way to a spurious conclusion.
