A bit about David Kane: Institute Fellow at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. He presented the paper at the Joint Statistical Meetings, the largest conference of statisticians in North America. If it were in the least little bit flawed, he'd have been savaged by the assembled might of his colleagues.
He was NOT so treated; he was confirmed in his findings. Lancet, on the other hand, became the butt of many a statistician's joke (whatever that might be).
