In Response To: Re: I'm a libertarian and despise liberals (James Chantler)

a hypothesis test would demonstrate it. so the method was correct

what is left out is that people who use belts tend to lift much heavier weight (ie-near their 1RM) than other people and hence usually obtain more injuries but it's not due to the belt

a more CORRECT analysis would be to analyze

-top level powerlifters uing a belt
-top level powerlifters NOT using a belt (if there are any)

so the scenario you gave is not a criticism of statistics per se but just an overamplification of a particular conclusion

(btw if you don't like the analysis he did then you better not take any medicine ever again since the effectiveness and safety of nearly every drug sold in the US undergoes this type of analysis)
