Aren't the reddit demographics, like O'Reilly, 'richer, whiter, older'? (also kinda racist and sexist, so that's more points of convergence).

A few years ago, while Jailbait was still going strong, Reddit's administrators gave him a special one-of-a-kind "pimp hat" badge to honor his contributions to the site, which he proudly displayed on his profile. Brutsch said he was even in the final running for a job as a customer support representative at Reddit last year.

I'm wondering if maybe you're doing way too many simulations in the calibration, do you really need more than a few hundred to a thousand or so? The 0.1 quantile is reasonably well separated from 0, and I would have expected you'd get "good enough" convergence pretty quickly.
Also: "we can compare our computed p-value of 11% to our simulated 10% result to determine whether or not the model is accurate enough." you're getting a full pdf out of the simulations, are you also comparing to the full distribution of your test statistics?
classy as fuck, pal

""" I was near surrounded by these people, for the first time in my life, at a sort of ethnic-pride gathering which I was attending for reasons not relevant to this essay. And found myself experiencing disgust. Not anger, not hatred, but a visceral feeling of revulsion similar to being exposed to sewage or rotten food.
Something in my hindbrain was pushing me hard in a direction perhaps best verbalized as “these people are greasy, filthy monkeys and I despise them and I loathe them”. """

Scrupulous honesty requires me to report here that there is a small subset of blacks to which I do have a twitchy hindbrain reaction something like “Animal; unsafe; avoid.” But I’ve noticed that blacks outside this subset have that reaction too. so I’m probably not reacting to “race” in this respect. It may be related that I perceive a lot more variety among blacks than I do among minority X. """
"""One was: their skin color looks fecal. The other was: their bone structure doesn’t look human. And they’re just off-reference enough to be much more creepy than if they looked less like people, like bad CGI or shambling undead in a B movie. When I paid close enough attention, these were the three basic data under the revulsion; my hindbrain thought it was surrounded by alien shit zombies. """
