For anyone in the sciences, this is a classic quip for obvious things that don’t require studies - “well they never did a randomized trial to see if parachutes save lives when jumping out of airplanes”. Behold, they did it! They finally did it! https://t.

Now we have some solid evidence it is certainly safe to extrapolate to a fundamentally different scenario and apply this knowledge widely. Great illustration of how assumptions around the importance of variables may lead to a substantial misinterpretation

Gotta love this for the savvy research methods students. The headline grabs and the page is fun to read.
