There were some stunning claims being made on Twitter last month based on a recently published study. Instantly skeptical, I dug into the methodology section and found this gem:

"It should be noted that the results cannot be estimated using a physician fixed effect due to a numeric overflow problem in Stata 15 which cannot be overcome without changing the assumptions of the logit model."

... The sad part was they didn't even choose a reasonable model in the first place.
