On 16 Apr 2004, "Pittsburgh bound" <c.w.pittsburgh@verizon.net.nospam> pondered an unfair universe and came up with news:rrNfc.64925$QQ6.25862@nwrdny02.gnilink.net: > Have a cup of coffee with me and read this article from NZ. Says > a white helmet has a 24% lower risk than black Food for thought. > > http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/newsandupdates/brighthelmetstudy/ I'm increasingly of the opinion that no motorcycle study is correct. People conducting studies can always find a way to manipulate the numbers to come to verify whatever premise that is in the original hypothesis of their proposal. If they didn't, then the whole study would have been a waste of time. If I ever bought a lottery ticket, and subsequently won a lot of money, one of the things I would do is create a foundation that would do nothing but studies designed to come to the opposite conclusion of whatever other study was being done. If the evidence was so strong that it couldn't be validated, then the study could certify that the original was incontrovertable. -- StephG AH108 BS30 YPF8
