Re: [DIYbio] A Comparison of the Effects of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health

"GMOs cause cancer or something" papers come out every season, and they
have no intention of being rigorously scientific, because most science
journalists are either not scientists or have been "out of the game" for
so long that they've forgotten their stats.

So, those aren't mistakes; those are deliberate lies, couched in just
enough statistics-babble to pass muster for a journo who agrees with the
basic premise and wants to say "GMOs bad, mmkay" with a citation.

Aside: "parametric" in statistics refers to a class of statistical
analyses, which may or may not be appropriate based on the dataset and
hypothesis. So, "parametric" isn't necessarily any better than
"non-parametric" in this case.
