>>13912832>Now you are simply subject to the political whims of private entities rather than public onesYou say that like it's a bad thing.
You make a study about your product and how great it is, now your competitor has to make one that shows your product is shitty. Or, if it actually is better, improve their own product.
Currently you couldn't publisize research you did on your competitor without getting sued for badmouthing them.
>making definitive statementsscience is a process, you better be very well prepared when you make a definitive statement. We both know very well what they do nowadays to shift studies in the favour of one party or another.
>Infographics are useful for quick presentation of researchYeah, that is why everybody who reads an infograph on some subject he doesn't understand thinks he did the same amount of research as the people making the according study.
>it is somewhat infeasible to teach that skill in a regular classThe vast majority of shit you get taught at school is infeasable, pointless and absolutely dumb in real life. But knowing when you are being bullshited is not useless at all.
>Most people who make it through basic maths already take a statistics course.Not american, but I am fairly sure that this is not the case. Post source on that, please
