The meta-analytic process involves massive teams of researchers pooling ALL of the research (some parameters specified depending on what the meta-analysis is designed to study) on a topic--and I mean scouring thousands--hundreds of thousands--of studies (both published and unpublished), then pooling and analyzing the data from those studies to examine the broad trends that are occurring in a field of research.

Meta-analyses are how we can say something with 99.9% certainty. They're how 95+% of scientists can agree upon issues like climate change and the value of vaccines. They're as concrete as science currently gets, and they're the future of scientific agreement in any given field.

**** yeah science!
Not sure if you saw this link.

Regarding meta-analysis, the complaints cited are only partially valid and do not detract from the value of meta-analysis as an analytic tool. Complaining about correlational research? In that case you are going to have a problem with literally all of science, because guess what? It's all correlational. It's not possible to isolate a variable in such a way as to definitively prove causation. We can get very close, and the closer the better, but ultimately, it's all correlation.

I only skimmed the rest because this document appears to be about whether meta-analysis has shown that spanking ****s kids up, which is irrelevant to me because that was never my claim.

The article points are that medicine and discipline are areas where meta-analysis is most flawed. And I wouldn't consider physics, math, and electronics as three areas of science that are corellnational.

Which is why vaccines cause autism.
