Highlights From The Comments On Long COVID And Bisexuality

Companion to Replication Attempt: Bisexuality And Long COVID (ACX-449, 68). A strong methodology companion where Scott does real analytical work. He tests the response-pattern explanations (weird-identity willingness, checked against Christians/Republicans/ambidextrous/self-vs-MD-diagnosed), the biological explanations (immune/hormonal, LadyJane's chimerism hypothesis, the smoking/obesity channel that becomes his biggest update), and — the meatiest section — a point-by-point rebuttal of replication-crisis figure Jim Coyne's critique of his survey: the smoking-question analogy for why imperfect self-report still detects correlations, 'there is no single correct Long COVID number,' and the argument that his instrument is valid because it replicates known findings (women>men depression, ADHD-substance-abuse, the schizophrenia hollow-mask result). Closes with the important 'there are no teams' framing on organic-vs-psychosomatic (every organic condition has a psychosomatic shadow).

Quality 72 · Strong. Strong (72, top companion band). Genuinely instructive on how to reason from imperfect survey data plus a careful, fair engagement with a serious critic; the Coyne rebuttal and the no-teams framing are real standalone contributions, riding on the parent post.

Claude’s paradigm shift 52 · Moderate. Moderate (52). Sharpens the methodology and the psychosomatic-shadow frame without a wholly new thesis.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. 1 — a companion commentary; negligible independent real-world effect.
