Edit: I've been hit with the dreaded "You're posting too fast" block, meaning I cannot respond anymore. Why? Because I asked somebody who said that Trump was on public record calling for insurrection to prove it with a quote.
Is it incompetence?
So tired of people having these absolutely vile attitudes (accusing the person you're responding to of being "likely to disagree with reality") while never presenting any facts.
Which gives us "spare made", "well made", and "well set" as descriptions.
A similar "ethnography" (http://tiny.cc/3ip6tz) gives me this:
"Although from their wiry and spare conformation of body, the Villees look tall, they are not so in reality."
Which I would think implies thin.
In lieu of consistently good science journalism, I try to take a peak at these things in the relevant papers as well. But this requires the additional knowledge of knowing the limits of certain 'methodologies, experimental designs, and statistical analyses' and what you can/can't extrapolate. Which, as somebody outside of formal research, I've only put together piecemeal through reading other criticisms.
Are there any good, comprehensive resources for the limits of different study methods/experimental designs?
How does your proximity to the situation change that?
