The hyper rationalist cult on HN has created a race to see who will be the first to claim "this is a fairly poorly executed study".

It really impresses the crowd here if you ignore all limitations introduced by reality, and fail to clearly even assert the requirements that would result in an "adequately executed study."

Bonus points if you finish your shallow skepticism by redirecting the conversation in the direction of your original preheld biases.

Double bonus points if you fail to link to a study that both supports that preheld bias and meets your own standards for how studies should be conducted.
