#CrossSectional
A lot of this research is really bad.

One of these effects people just *want* to be true, so researchers can get away with shoddy crosssectional analyses and handwaving.
Contact with nature is good for us

Experiments have found that nature contact decreases negative affect, stress & anxiety, and increases positive affect. Lowers cardiovascular disease & mortality risk and greater life satisfaction are associated with living near nature.

The more general rule is "don't run crosssectional country regressions" (unless it is for your master thesis or you have a natural experiment)

Although this is not multivariate crosssectional clustering of course but usually these models annoy me for the same reasons

yes completely -- when reading the abstract I care most about knowing the design basis for the inference!

As a NORMAL and SENSIBLE person, I can confidently assert that a hole stops being a hole when its opposite walls are no longer roughly parallel or when its crosssectional area is greater than the square of its depth, in which case it becomes a pit or a hollow.

Look, the Shi'ar were shooting at Chris Summers' plane, it was going down, Katherine had just pushed the boys out, Scott and Alex were falling - A lot was happening!

Sometimes you need to simplify things to figure out what's going on.

So it is sort of about whatever that volumetric flow rate is relative to the crosssectional area of the channel and how that wavefront interacts with that?

We live in a bourgeois democracy. The way both political parties function is through establishing cross class coalitions that attempt to unify the disparate crosssectional interests of segments of the proletarian and bourgeois classes. Going into the Harris campaign, the issue they found was that

The authors repeat throughout the article that they are referring to ASSOCIATIONS, not CAUSALITY. And they repeat this at the end: "The crosssectional design cannot establish a causal relationship."

I f*in hate when people misuse research to make it say what they want it to.

Caveats:

> Data are not representative
> Yearly developments are trends (overall sample: ~30k)
> Regression results are crosssectional
> Results not peer-reviewed

Together, this is no proof of social media or policy effects. However, IMO it does offer support for these positions.
