Those damn statstically sound case studies. They always interfere with

Dear Steven,

Er, last week, you wrote:

" . . . so the 63-88% range given by Rivara and Thompson is almost
certainly a bit lower than the actual reduction."

So is it "almost certainly" greater than 88%?

No - it is "almost certainly" greater than 63% (at some unspecified

It is called statistics - and it doesn't always lie.
