To be fair thats not a scientific journal saying that and PHS doesnt conduct peer review. Thats a government health agency.

>it's only the raw data source
yeah we need a meta study where the real data can be buried under layers of P-hacking

@crunklord420
Well there are other sources for raw data, but yes i agree obscuring the data is a bad move.

That said there is no dpubt that conspiracy theorists were abusing data they didnt understand. The VARES data in the usa was misrepresented by most of the nutters countless times. Personally im ok with that since freedom of information means idiots will abuse it and thats a fine tradeoff to make. But i do understand the reaction. People were so dumb thry were actually vares was an indication of death counts and other complete nonsense

@icedquinn

@freemo @icedquinn imagine calling other people conspiracy theorist while preventing them from viewing it. If anything doing this absolutely legitimizes all of those claims by conspiracy theorists.

Random anonymous people on 4chan are more trustworthy than the combined prestige of all the top universities in the west combined.

I agree, blocking the data is unexcusable, and very counter to the intention of stopping conspiracy theorists, however absurd those conspiracy theorists happened to be.
