I try to make a practice out of simply refusing to read any single study that says something exciting.<p>If it&#x27;s true, people will replicate the study, and we can read the meta-study on their replications and be appropriately amazed later.<p>But chances are, publication bias has caused something statistically insignificant to be claimed as true, and people will lap it up because that&#x27;s the sorry state of science journalism.<p>The fact that in this study the sweat appeared to be of the same amount in both cases is another sign that the experiment was likely just flawed.
