To tie this thread in with another recent thread on power, let's just say that
this is a case of a massively overpowered study with an N of 689,003 producing
effect sizes like d=.001, 008, and .02. Predictably, the y-axis on the graphs

Another one I have been contacted about is:
I am surprised that people still see adopting a political ideology as a process
