Why is "they used the wrong statistical formula" worth 47 upvotes on the main article? Because people here are interested in supplementation?

In my case, yes. I'd posit that a future-interested community like this is likely to have lots of supplement-interested individuals trying to squeeze in an extra few years.

Simply put, I think this article has bridged what was a gap between the interests of LessWrong and the interests of LessWrong readers.
