  1. Hey #EconTwitter, I have a question! I've read (a long time ago) something that sort of said "you can always find at least one paper that proves your point". I think this idea is associated with a "theorem" or something similar. Any clue which one? Thanks!

      The idea behind is that the scientific literature is so large that with good cherry picking, you can always say "my point was scientifically proved". (To me, it's an argument in favor of systemic reviews of the literature (= meta-analyses), but that's a debate for another day!)

        Fun (or psychologically devastating) fact: I'm currently working on my slides for @pintofscienceFR and I plan to use this saying/theorem right after this inspiring picture ❤️

          (And I will use this picture in fullscreen mode with the worst possible PowerPoint transition. Don't do it at home without proper precautions!)
