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.
Anyhow, this fella's meta-analysis, flawed or no, has absolutely no danger of causing some kind of feedback loop in the video game/violence market.... wherein a sudden spike of actual violence linked to video games, in turn causes yet more violence -- culminating in some kind of worldwide crescendo of video-game-related ultra-violence.
Fortunately, that's just not how averages work in the general case.
Meta-studies always seemed like re-bundling to me. (Score:3)
