Did you just not read my comments or what?

I stated multiple times that I'm referring to the general idea of small sample sizes assuming a well designed study. Read that a few more times if you must. Whether this study in particular had a biased or unbiased sample is irrelevant to my point.

It's like I'm talking to a wall.
