Michael Bailey , "I think his data were not appreciably different than random coin tossing...Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and yet Paul's paper is extraordinarily weak."

Fedoroff based his claim on his study of 43 men showed pedophilia on

Fedoroff's response to

294-428: The previous criticisms, showing directly that Fedoroff's method was invalid and that his reported finding was actually a statistical artefact, indistinguishable from random variation.
