As a teacher at Queens Park High, Chester my official initials was GNR. The students smiled and gave me victory and other hand salutes. Eventually, in bewilderment I asked them why.
"Guns n Roses, Sir! You’re cool!"

Admiral Rais Dragut, hated by most, admired by many. He invaded in 1565 but during a storm was found on a beach in present day Malta! Arrested as an illegal! Will his cunning work an escape? Art by @_Bethdesigns

I am quite suspicious of the popularity of post-data multiverse analysis. If we can have all those specifications identified, why not run corresponding simulations ahead of data collection to pressure-test the experimental design & analytical procedures so we can perform the most informative study?
