    I have a study with a sample size of one that concludes that people shouldn’t drink milk tea because of the intense gas pain that follows. You should see my p value. It’s glorious.

      Interestingly enough, there is a design that still works with a single person… But it requires a bunch of time points. In other words, you can prove milk tea is bad for you in particular by drinking it enough times and having terrible gas and/or diarrhea to improve that p value.

      You naturally can’t extrapolate that to others in the population but at least you’ll definitively prove you probably have lactose intolorance!
