When doing a study, if you do 30 interviews/tests/whatever you will get about 95% of the possible results. However, it simply tells you the significant “exemplars.” It is not predictive at all.

Far too many people use small samples to suggest cause and effect to get more grant money. And government idiots write them checks.
