Musk’s mistake was to take an even number of tests. That’s why SCOTUS has an odd number of judges.

So now all our tests and lab work should be a best of 7?

More than one data point just causes uncertainty and makes the sales of statistics textbooks soar.

No. 7 controlled tests from a single nurse with this variance show honest statisticians that the test has no predictive power. Note: the company that certified the tests should be charged with criminal negligence and those in charge should be prosecuted for medical malpractice.

Right, and even if you get 4 negative results and 3 positive ones, all 3 positives will count as separate 'cases' in the statistics!
