Oh, that's not what I was expecting.

You were about to tell me.

Yeah, okay, so...

Brian is trying to think of, are there other factors that might come into play here and trying to like do some science to sort of suss those out, basically?

And so those factors have been known for a while and are generally pretty well accepted.

So the other studies weren't adjusting for stuff like age of the parent, you know, other health conditions, stuff like that?

Like, what's going on here exactly?

So, all right.

So this is like a classic sort of red herring science story.

Yeah.

So like it looked like it was this one thing, but it's actually that one thing is associated with this other thing that it was sort of covering up.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, exactly.

That's what I mean.

Yeah.

It's like they're not directly influencing the other.

It's just like they're both responding to the same third variable.

OK, so given all that, what do you make of all this?

Like, if you were pregnant right now, would you take Tylenol?
