What a terrible idea to have an expert in statistics be part of the team that is doing a statistical evaluation. Should I conclude from your belief that statisticians are there to create false conclusions that any paper that does not have a qualified statistician is better? I am sure had this paper not had one you would opine "Where is the statistics expert? The data is not reliable unless proper statistical analysis was done"

If you are here to accuse Joseph Magagnoli of fudging the data, please at least have the guts to directly accuse him and not just suggest it with no evidence.
