    The proportion of 1400 down to 69 also suggests participation biases, rather than merely filtration due to criteria...

    No, but, well, they're probably both true...

    What I really meant was the whole ME/CFS population of Poland, not all of whom would have seen the advert. But I was unclear. So as a stab in the gloom, if the prevalence rate were 0.25%, then of the 40 million thereabouts the number would be around 100,000.

    What I said was entirely accurate. The 7 billion did not include clingons, or walruses or top quarks for that matter. Remember, klingons are just fictional.

    yeah but the paper says it is assessing the prevalence rate, so can't assume it...

    This argument is technically correct, but it has no honor.

    I thought Klingons were factional.
