happy new year to everyone ... hope your y2k +1 year is great! ....
now, the y2k scare provides us with an excellent example of confounds (more
or less) .. consider the following:
Time One: lots of hype about "potential" disasters related to y2k ... (PRETEST)
Time Two: billions of $$$ spent on "fixing" y2k "problems" (TREATMENT)
Time Three: world notes relatively few y2k problems ... (POSTTEST)
so ... did the "treatment" lead to the observation of "few problems"?
