gotta love 8 co-authors, and a total gobbledigook 'main findings' paragraph that could have just said something like 25 out of 70 vs 45 out of 68 or whatever. No, the reader must want the fourth ("significant") figure of the percentages and a chi-sq test stat for an almost pointless regression.

TBF i think they only had 8 co authors because they gave credit to all the bat-men and womb-women.

But i really wish they'd addressed what happened to batman on the other two experiments - probably someone made a joke or a clown got on and batman attacked them.
