Wow, talk about pedantic. Of course I was calling into question the validity of the research conclusions, not simply how they got their numbers. What makes it bunk science is not what decimal point they used-this is a study of evolutionary psychology, not the weight of a bag of beans.
The study is designed to show a correlation between how you act in public, and the size of your ears. Its does no such thing in my opinion. And all this study really is about is opinion. The authors opinion that this factor played a more important role than any other of one thousand factors.
And regarding those numbers that you love so much that they block your view of the forest, there is no way that you could tell me that if they played this game with 10,000 participants instead of 100 that the numbers couldn't just as easily flip and go the other direction. There is no such significant trend here no matter what p value you use. If they would like to play a game where they predict what someone will decide beforehand, based on the shape of their two ears, I will take them on in a betting game anytime those authors wish.
