Tony, I'd save my electrons. Grant's convinced that there's no possible way for studies to correct for multi-variant samples. Which means, I guess, that nothing vaguely interesting can be examined statistically.
He's right that you can't prove causation using observation, but that doesn't mean that the studies can't show very, very high levels of correlation, sufficient to constitute near-certainty. Certainly enough to convince anyone who's not possessed of a statistician's "correlation doesn't prove causation" mindset.

Matthew, I think it's more a matter of faith over evidence - so no amount of proof will ever be enough.

You can order a copy of the aforementioned paper from here for €13.87 or you could go to a good library and get it for free.
I can't share my view on their work as I am not going to spend a thousand dollars paing for it.
So. Grunt cant convert Euros to NZ Dollars?
The evidence is not fabricated, the correlation is real, but the conclusions are not necessarily warranted.
Ore did he mean "are not necessarily wanted."?

If he's telling the truth in his profile on here, he lives in Taipei. And according to the Universal Currency Converter EUR13.87 is TWD643.95. So he actually wasn't exaggerating all that much.

:D Thanks, Matty. I really should have been able to get closer after having just gone through Europe, but I enjoyed the response anyway :)

Like I say, faith over evidence.

What are you referring to? Steve's ignorance?

How old is the Earth? If I were to suggest a topic for Vision to teach it would be called, "In the Beginning". My answer is: Less than 10,000 years.
