The original paper was laughable statistically, but once senses the authors knew it. It wound up not being replicable…..that is, it’s horseshit. It had, however, already escaped into the pseudo-intellectual cocktail party circuit, and through that became immortal.

Was this device requirement established by your insurance carrier, or your physician? Out of the blue, or in follow-up to a medical event that warranted monitoring?

Back in the day our lives were relatively simple and we had more time AND ENERGY to take on something like fight training. Not so much anymore. Example: I have to wear a personal health device (a device on my wrist) or else pay an extra $720 per year for health insurance. While that may not sound like a big deal, it is when you realize that entails charging it (without forgetting to put it back on as soon as it is finished charging), keeping it linked to my cell phone, keeping its application running on my cell phone, and keeping the associated health insurance application running on my cell phone. For the uninitiated, that previous list can be problematic–especially when you buy a new cell phone.

Anyhow, this article is very good. I just don’t know how to add more stuff into my life that is already overflowing.
