That's unfair. Getting 62 kids for this study must have been difficult. You don't know what the costs would have been to get a few dozen more.
I said "spend kids," so the cost of acquiring them is irrelevant. I'm sure they're expensive, so I keep them fixed. If there were half as many studies each with twice as many subjects, they would be much more valuable. But they wouldn't be publishable, because they'd all have negative results.
