I have it as, even though the Departments of a field may favorably select 
female candidates in most or all department choices, there may be a bias 
against women over all.  Or, even though selfish individuals may be selected in 
each and every subpopulation of a general population, altruists may be selected 
overall because there is  a negative correlation between size of group and 
selection for selfish individuals.

Simpson's paradox: even though two variables might be correlated in subgroups 
of a population they can be negatively correlated or uncorrelated in the 
population.

No problem with the modification, I was just making noise at that point:  death 
panels, statistical police, knowledge is oppression, and so on.

 

I see, Morris did exactly what you were suggesting and then went on to itemize 
every quibble that might come up in the conclusion.

 

I might even remember Simpson's Paradox after this, at least for a few days.

May I offer a tiny rewording to one of your sentences, Roger?

 

Given that right now I am in a months-long redraft of a paper, which feels like 
having my teeth drilled, trying to say some things about the difference between 
what one can do with summary statistics and what one does with population-wide 
regressions.  I am in a situation where I can’t use terms (this community 
doesn’t use them), can’t cite to where they are explained (not their 
literature; they will not go follow a cite), and can’t explain them in-line 
(too long; people don’t want to read all that).  Complain complain complain.

 

Interesting thing is that the particular “data” we are getting are, of course, 
summary statistics. So:

 

You said:

 

Next the statistics police will be telling us how to use the data!

 

How about:

Oh, and someone noticed that a lot of the unvaccinated can't afford to take two 
days off for vaccination side effects, no medical leave, you could try offering 
her 2 days and a few hours pay to get vaccinated.

This is one that it would be nice to see broken down by age and other 
conditions.

If unvaxxed hospitalizations are a true “cross section of America” (like jury 
duty), whereas the vaxxed ones are mainly old or sick with something else, that 
would be an important variable for deriving a risk profile  by category.

Time, time, time, to chase things down….
