The best bit about the show Tipping Point is when the host, Ben Shephard, says "let's find out what would have happened if you'd decided to play". There's always a nagging doubt at the back of my mind: that's not really what *would* have happened, is it?

Do not try to reproduce p-values from rounded summary statistics. You can (should) check whether they are consistent - you can achieve this by calculating the largest/smallest p-value consistent with the rounded data. Mark Bolland’s app may help: reappraised.shinyapps.io/check_p_vals...

What's next? There are still many interesting questions at the trait level. For example, heritability estimates for BMI vary substantially across methods and suggest that more complex environmental interactions may be at play (an echo of prior work: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28692066/).

So there you have it, twin study estimates were greatly inflated, and molecular data sets the record straight. I walk through possible counter-arguments, but ultimately the uncomfortable truth is that genes contribute to traits much less than we always thought.

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.
