I keep reading things about how whether you see statistically significant results from a study can depend on things like whether you group subpopulations together...

My conclusion is that no matter how much lip service people give to the saying "correlation is not causation", they don't live it, because the only practical thing to do is publish whenever you find a correlation, or else you will perish.
