Was there a reason that you labeled the peer-reviewed paper as an “article”? Inaccurate labeling may undermine your credibility.
This peer-reviewed paper was quoted by O’Keefe et al, so is crucial to the points made in the Medium article under which we are commenting. (Was there a reason you referred to the paper as merely one I linked?)
What O’Keefe et al, and the authors of the paper found to be statistically significant, you label as “noise”, their conclusions as “purely descriptive”, and readers who don’t reach the same conclusion as you as “casual” and “naïve”.
If your intention is to refute the peer-reviewed paper or the findings of O’Keefe, then you’ll need to better than reimagining statistics that anyone who cares to look can see, or using rhetoric to push a specific narrative.
