    Gotta give him some respect for admitting he was wrong, and doing so several times. Everyone is wrong from time to time, but barely anyone can openly admit it.

          But do you put work into the fake?

          I like to invent P-values and fabricate not only participants, but their consent waivers. I sprinkle around terms like Tasseled Cap, Eigenvector, ANOVA, MLR, Covariance Matrices, etc.

          Some people make up stuff because they’re lazy. When my lies are complete, it would have been just as easy to do the actual work because I’m in it for the love of the game.

      And also add to that that this is more like escaping from a cult than it is merely admitting you were silly and wrong.
