This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

There's no methods development that the observational medical literature can't misuse. Its TTE now, but you look back at when propensity scores were fashionable and see the same thing.

Dark chocolate pecan, cranberry curd, or apple miso?

Oldest friend came down. We are on day 2 of 3 for meal prep.

There are so many pies Talique.

I'd love to figure out a real solution for how this could be. Instead, I'll float the remote possibility that a randomization protocol in the published medical literature may just be wrong.

Did they say they were balanced in their blocks of 4? 😅

Dark chocolate pecan pie is hard to beat

Im gonna contend that Rogue One should be higher up. Maybe even in a tie with ESB. But solid list Fr.

My hopeful universalism continues to be challenged

How do these people engage in this and think they will avoid damnation?

And there's hesitancy in curriculums to force having to learn additional quant software (which is a real problem). But yeah, if you knew better you'd never fit a basic mixed model on MPlus. There's just a meaningful chunk of folks who have been trained that way.

Loathe having to use MPlus for all the reasons you are familiar with. It's just historical inertia of it having been the only game in town for some advanced latent models that are common in behavioral work. So you get taught it. But virtually anything else is better to use if you don't NEED MPlus

As strange as it is, there is a big chunk of behavioral folks that are trained primarily on SPSS and MPlus. SSPS for "basic" stuff and then you get MPlus for "advanced" things.

What's the alpha correction needed if i bat my eyes meaningfully at the PI after peaking?

Ha, imagining an ACNA DSA caucus!

I didn't know this existed, and regret learning.

Good luck! Feels like real "Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant" territory.

I may be slightly biased by my anti AI stance generally. My pitch for baking it into the bylaws is 1) being harder to change on purpose, and 2) there may be some utility to getting some sort of consensus from the congregation as a whole (assuming bylaws work generally as they do in my parish).

Realistically, I think the solution is for vestries to adopt bylaws about what is appropriate AI usage ahead of time to avoid these situations
