Was it bad that he removed people. I thought that same number of people in each group was good.

Same here! I was kind of stumped on the question :/.
i said what the study was hoping to achieve, and how the small sample size + small demographic didn't depict a complete representation of the population.


the question was about his methodology, i didn't think it was asking for advantages/disadvantages (by my interpretation anyway)
i based it purely on whether his method made it reliable, accurate or valid.

I whooped that "scientist" methodology

should of said student instead...doubt scientists would be that inconsistent
ahahahaha. strong scientist, he is :p

I did say he maintained some features of an epidemiological study, but not all things were considered. Plus the fact that he saw if they had a health check, but didn't elaborate on it. It might have been like:
"have you had a health check in the last year?" response: y/n

it means nothing unless he also analysed that data. it was just mentioned

I said he ("they", actually, it was gender neutral) should get it checked and cross-examined by a supervisor lol

I referred to the scientist as "the scientist", i'm just assuming it's a guy on here because a girl wouldn't overlook such details ;)

i can't actually remember if i used a general neutral term of though. I didn't mention the scientist in particular that many times, rather how much I thought he was wrong and he should quit his job :p

Don't criticize him too harshly, he's just trying to pay off his student loans

- he used some features of an epidemiological report, but it wasn't reliable, consistent, or accurate.
- small sample size
- didn't survey other demographics i.e. age, occupation, location
- he removed some people from the report, reducing the half female/half male control
- didn't consolidate his data with the reports of other scientists
- no assessment of relevance of questions asked
- no repetition with other parts of population
