Oh, look, another genome-wide association study found a suggestive correlation. Didn't we learn our lesson about this kind of bullshit in the Zeros?

Can you elaborate on why you think this particular correlation is not significant?
In the zeroes, we didn't correct for multiple hypothesis testing in a very good manner. I don't know if that's changed; it's a hard problem.
What Zeros?
The last decade, the noughties.
