@dmac67 - confirmation bias. Yup. Since you are aware, check an out of print, but easy to find book called "The Biomedical Bestiary'. Published in the mid-80s, chapters are still used in epidemiology classes today. It explains - in a biomedical context - a lot of this hobby, as well as many misunderstandings in medical research. 'Measurable But Not Meaningful' is another favorite chapter.
