I'm not a scientist, but I'm curious if any of you know: why do these important studies use such small N? I think its pretty obvious that a small N is not statistically significant, yet for this study, or the myriad of COVID-19 studies, the N is usually < 20.
It's just so frustrating that professional scientists just completely ignore this statistical fact. Why not use use N >= 100 or not at all. It just confuses things in my opinion.
