In Australia Step 5 is outsource the solution to a consulting company for many millions of dollars staffed by people who got middling marks in the classes of the academics who already work for you. The report is actually written by AI.

Does Sleep Apnea cause cancer and if so what kind/s? One of the ways we can check this is to look at the adverse event tables in the big CPAP randomised trials and see if anything changes. Frustrating answer = still not clear onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Venn (1866) described the problem with the "sharpshooter fallacy": 🎯 painting the bullseye on the spot where a bullet hits a door.
In psychology, we call this "HARKing" β€” Hypothesizing After Results Are Known.
