His methodology is inadequate to the task -- rather like using a roadside truck scale to weigh the first four people to pass by and concluding that all humans weigh exactly 200 pounds. Lee, in comparison, is akin to a long-time general practice physician who's kept aggregate patient records of vital statistics for decades, and concludes that, among his patients, those over age 50 with weight and waist-to-hip ratios more than three standard deviations from average are 80% more likely to need treatment for a cardiovascular condition, and far less likely to have an history of regular vigorous physical activity. He then compares his own data set with Census Bureau and NIH statistics and concludes that, adjusted for variations in the demographics of his patients, they're all pretty much on the same page in terms of observations. But in Paul's world, that's all bunk because everybody weighs exactly 200 pounds, as confirmed by his own measurements, so all that stuff about diet and exercise is equal bunk. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
