I read his post twice and I still don't see him having figured out the real confidence levels or claiming to have.

edit: besides, Phil's own claims don't even meet the 95% confidence, and god only knows out of how big of a pool he fished this bias example from, and how many instances of 'a few studies find a link but most don't' he ignored until he came up with this.
