Third-party claim
“conveying the true characteristics of randomness in psychiatric education might help clinicians better identify when a trend in their clinical experience is causal or due to random fluctuations”
Closing sentence of a guest post by 'Alex' (Alex Mendelsohn, PhD, UK physicist) arguing that Poisson clumping biases psychiatrists' prescribing (his example: pregabalin for GAD). He suggests teaching randomness in psychiatric education could reduce this bias.
A quoted or paraphrased claim by someone else that the author does not adopt as their own.
