The Study

Yet Another Reason the Stealth Syndromes Human Study is Needed

This is not to say statistical methods are wrong to conduct. After all, our companion website has noted that epidemiology has saved millions of lives through statistical associations.

However, we also emphasized that correlation is not causation. And to obtain solid, credible evidence, statistical correlations must be tested (whenever possible) by direct human testing.
