<<<"Clinical trials? Exactly the same.">>>


exwannabe, your example indeed generates well-known statistical bias inherent in random sampling.

but your extrapolation to Clinical Trials to support the PSB baloney has no basis in reality.


here are the analogies:


1. "McChich nuggets"

a) Model for: BULK MANUFACTURE

b) Product Samples Related ? YES - ALL MADE THE SAME WAY

c) Individually & Independently Tested ? NO, NOT POSSIBLE

d) Are characteristics known ? e.g. is failure an inevitable possibility due to make-up of product - YES, SOME FAILURES ARE INEVITABLE


2. RPRX (or DNDN) Trials

a) Model for: INDEPENDENT TRIAL OF DISCRETE ENTITY

b) Product Samples Related ? NO, ALL ARE DISCRETE

c) Individually & Independently Tested ? YES, BY DEFINITION

d) Are characteristics known ? (e.g. is failure an inevitable possibility due to make-up of product) - NO, AND FAILURE IS NOT INEVITABLE
