Since the sequels and in-between movies/TV series have come out, it’s made it a bit messy, but it still holds true. As long as the twist about Vader is maintained (ESB) before you meet him as a boy, Anakin’s downfall and redemption are more meaningful.

One reason I oppose associational or other non-causal language in research questions is it lets people think they don't need causal inference to answer causal questions.

(When the underlying question is causal, of course. Which it almost always is.)

There seems to be a disconnect between the estimate and what that “association” means in terms of the underlying hypothesis. It’s removed the final step of interpretation of the result, and stating an “association between X and y” covers methodological laziness (of which I am certainly guilty of).

I’ve used esmolol a couple of times and was pleasantly surprised by its analgesic effects.

Keen to see if others have used it as an analgesic?

I’m a nay.

No clear benefit with plenty of potential SE. A lot were using it with remi/dexmed/prop, and it just seemed like an organised offensive to disrupt haemodynamics for the benefit of “analgesia”, without the evidence to support it.

I use it rarely in ICU for refractory VT/VF.

There’s so much dogma in medicine. When you challenge the dogma, some will take it very personally. Our egos can be so entwined with being a doctor that it can be hard to separate things, let alone apply critical thinking to it.

Well. I get exasperated about this. The problem is that many expect statistics to be easy. Some then get annoyed when it isn’t. Mathematics gets a free pass it seems. I am still learning statistics after more than 50 years.

I just want you guys to know that if your #rstats models aren't converging, it's likely because you're taking Tylenol.

Tylenol can flatten likelihood surfaces due to multidimensional recontainerization of typhoid surfaces.

I'm going to ask the FDA to modify the label of Tylenol to indicate this.
