Talk:Flaws in Richard Lenski Study (view source)
Revision as of 00:27, July 25, 2008
, 00:27, July 25, 2008→Draft of PNAS Letters Response from Conservapedia
:::His statement "''The paper incorrectly combined the Third Experiment with the other two based on outcome rather than sample size, thereby yielding a false claim of overall statistical significance''" is meaningless. If ASchlafly objects to the statistical method used, he should recalculate the results using his preferred test and then present both his results and a defense of the alternate statistical method. If you send a letter to PNAS that includes such obvious errors of fact and unsupported conclusions, it will only embarrass ASchlafly and Conservapedia further.--[[User:Brossa|Brossa]] 16:20, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

:: Dear RoyS, my mind is open enough and I listened long enough, and I would appreciate if you would contribute to the discussion instead of accusing me of beeing closed-minded and acting as if we sat in the pub. If the flaws are so obvious, please present your calculations. Lenski presented his, So unless you show that, using a specific method of calculation, you get other numbers, there is not much of an argument. --[[User:Stitch75|Stitch75]] 20:27, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
