    anyone who was planning to not even understand, let alone use, statistics in psych of all disciplines should seek a different vocation.

    It’s literally the only way to make sense and genuine progress, especially compared to those 20th century old rich dudes who were high af, used anecdotes, derived causal effect from correlations, and made “findings” that reinforced their own biases and beliefs.

    Do everything right, and the number’s won’t lie to you. It’s never wrong, it’s just unexplained.
