[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTW that article about volleyball is dumb. From the first sentence you can see the authors bias. Instead of letting the data determine the results they defined and opinion and intended to "prove" their opinion with the results..[/quote]
I looked a little closer. There isnt any data used un the article. The author just cites other authors picking and choosing quotes that support their opinion. [/quote]
I take that back the author went through NCAA division 1 websites one by one creating their own dataset. I cant see any issues with that. No way that a poor researcher would only include the data that fits their narrative.

Materials and Methods
3.1. Participants
The sample consisted of 1417 Division I volleyball athletes, including 1253 women and 164 males. Secondary data from the 2020–2021 [b]school year were collected from the official athletic department websites[/b], including 116 out of the 334 Division I women’s volleyball programs (represented 37% all DI Schools) and 12 out of the 48 combined Division I and II Men’s volleyball programs (represented 25% of all DI/II schools). This represented all the publicly available data at these levels and included, at minimum, each athlete’s birth month and birthday (see Supplementary Data File).[/quote]

I guess you didn't see the part about how it represented "all publicly available data." It's just ... reality.[/quote]
More like all public data that they wanted to represent. Theres a reason people tend to use the same datasets for things like this. Not their own hand crafted screenscrape. Its called credibility.

Just like from the beginning of the article. It was obvious that the author was looking to prove their opinion. They weren't interested in letting the data show whatever it shows. [/quote]

You are even more opinionated and aggressive because you don't like the results.[/quote]
