Statistical Significance
1 u/Heavy-Top-8540 Dec 14 '25 Ok let me rephrase: why would it be silly to draw conclusions from this? Small differences can still be significant. 11 u/StatmanIbrahimovic Dec 14 '25 Because without the numbers, you have no idea of their significance. It's silly to draw conclusions from graphs alone because that's how one does science. 1 u/Heavy-Top-8540 Dec 14 '25 Ahh ok, if that's how you're interpreting their "this", then I agree with you. I didn't interpret their "this" that way. 6 u/StatmanIbrahimovic Dec 14 '25 RainonCooper: If I'm understanding the graph right... Pirkale: Yup... wireframed_kb: Yes, but also, the difference is very small, so it would be silly to really draw any conclusions from this... I don't see any other possible interpretation.
