Reply to comment by defalt86 in Eli5 why does a survey need to have a minimum of 30 respondees to be statistically significant? by shashwathj

My point was that in a conversation about statistical method, it is really important to make it clear that you need to be really careful that the statistics you collect and examine actually support the conclusions you make as this is a really, really common mistake
