The statistical methodology I used is mine. As is the interpretation. Completely. To the degree that I misunderstood statistics (and it is under debate even in the thread you link, and the people accusing me of misunderstanding statistics there are universally misrepresenting my point, which is to point out a total absence of evidence for any difference, not to prove the null hypothesis) that's on me

FWIW I understood your point just fine. It seemed to me that you made a clear enough distinction between "evidence that Claude didn't increase bugs" and "no good evidence either way".
I don’t think that point is clear at all, at least in this comment sections you can find a few posts like these:

> Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?

> TFA answered this, the answer is “no”.

It seems like based on e.g. [1] the article originally made some stronger claims about “no difference in bugs” that have been corrected. I agree that now it seems fine, but those edits might be why it feels like some commenters read a different article than you.
