""" "foegen effekt‘"? Muahahaha. Ohne peer reviewed, und bei Reitschuster veröffentlicht? Muahahahahahahah. Sorry. """—https://twitter.com/larswienand/status/1339599015021690880?l...

As Hossenfelder put it: Over 90% of the crashed planes were found to have wings; we therefore conclude with p>0.5 that wings are detrimental to the safety of flying.


Do I understand correctly that the author of the paper is naming this "effect" after himself?

The study only includes data from a few months in mid-2000 in Kansas. Seems premature on that basis.
