I know that, but people have been citing this factoid and saying "video games are good for your kid!"

Without confidence intervals and R values, this kind of crap is worse than useless.

And in case you don't get the joke, if you do an experiment 20 times, you would NOT be surprised if 1 of them had a p<0.05 outcome. Because 1 in 20 is 5%, see?

Statistics is the religion of math. After reading research paper bajillion and one, I determined that 99% of them had such a narrow statistical analysis that they made the head of a pin look like Ron Jeremy's cock.
