This is a true story. Schrodinger's peer review.

Image of Schrodinger's cat. One cat says, "Your effect sizes are too small to be meaningful." The other cat says, "Your study likely suffers from Type II errors and wasn't powered enough to detect small effects."

Maybe I'm just terrible at R but I don't think it has ever saved me time.

A four-panel "clown makeup" meme humorously depicting the stages of overestimating time saved by scripting in R.

Panel 1: A man begins applying clown makeup. Caption: "I'm going to have to copy the results from the same analysis conducted on 4 datasets."

Panel 2: He applies more makeup. Caption: "I'll write an R script."

Panel 3: He puts on a rainbow wig. Caption: "It'll output the results for me in a clear and ready to edit format."

Panel 4: Fully dressed as a clown. Caption: "I'm going to save so much time as compared to copying and pasting."
