re: winter babies were more likely to come from less-privileged

posted 24th Sep
Quoting Baby Dono Mommy ~EBFB~:“ Very interesting, and it would account for the reason why winter babies are more likely to have those ... [snip!] ... It makes me grind my teeth when people get all up in arms over scientific studies and like to call them "not true". Uh...no...”

Like all statistical information it is subject to variance and bias and short of gathering information on every single child born, I highly doubt you are going to get "accurate" results. This article sounds like a load of b/s to me, I don't think you should take every single "scientific"study at face value. Besides anyone can make up statistics- they aren't really scientific. Sorry, I mean no offense- thats just my opinion.

Besides, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't statistics; "a branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters (in this case)"? but basically it's the mathematics of collecting and analyzing data to draw conclusions and make predictions. Not really science or cold hard facts. It's certainly open to interpretation.

Statistics can be manipulated to sway any point.
