You know: To hide bad studies like you'd hide bad whateveritwas that Goldman Sachs rebundled, sold, didn't see others re-bunde, and bought back, shooting itself in the foot.;)
Do you mean insomuch as they both use compute an average?
The concept of Mortgage-Backed Securities made a lot of sense on paper at the time. The problem is that financial markets often contain feedback loops -- "the more I drink, the more I drink" sort of thing. This whole GME short squeeze was basically the same kind of effect. As the price went up, the price went up, because it got stuck in a feedback loop that lasted literally till that one company just up and died.
I get what you getting at. But, what a proper meta study does is summarize findings (i.e. people don't have the time to read/find/every/ paper in a field) or combine statistically insignificant studies (e.g. case studies) into something statistically significant (i.e. useful).
You can not get anything worthwhile done without raising a sweat.

Meta-studies always seemed like re-bundling to me. (Score:3)
