Lab work can be so hard sometimes. Is your discovery that your patented snake oil formula (available from your website for the low price of only $199 a bottle) can cure cancer being prevented from seeing the light of the day by science’s unreasonable demand for evidence? Well, worry no more! With a few simple statistical fallacies, you can quickly produce significant results, and even the most disappointing dataset can become a published paper.
