That is some study correction.

Original conclusion was 2 + 2 = 5.

Now it is 2 + 2 = 4?

Most of the times the correction to a study is to say that the study is invalid because the author left off conditions or only "proved" to 90% confidence rather than the usual 95%. But to prove the opposite is amazing.

This story made me think of Jewel Shuping, who (according to a NY Post article) "suffers from an illness called body integrity identity disorder (BIID) — a disease that causes able-bodied people to strongly desire a disability." She believed that she should be blind so she was able to find a psychologist who dripped chemicals in he eyes to blind her. That doctor should lose his medical license for gross misconduct.
