History Trivia: No one outside Germany knows that “Churchill-quote” because it was made up by Nazi propaganda.

If you torture the data long enough, hey look at how low I got my p-value.

Cull the outliers… Not low enough
Transform the data… Not low enough
Normalise the data… Not low enough
Alter the model by adding random effects… Not low enough.
The major factors showed a trend towards significance… therefore our hypothesis was met.

Fucking lol. I can’t believe that shit’s real and from Reuters of all places.
I couldn’t find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article
