Unable To Sever Mount And Blade

Haarsträubend - The business of bald

Fear of baldness is a good opportunity to earn money by praising shampoos and hair lotions, which, in the case of (off) fall, promise, just to be able to stop this. Of course, the customer should be convinced to buy a very powerful product to stress and so resplendent on packets send graphics, the science and effectiveness should, but actually clean rags science. Here's an example:

Aminexil by Elvive



Wow! That looks pretty good. The graph suggests that with Aminexil only be even half as much hair. But this is wrong and that can be detected easily, as it has labeled Elvive either stupidity or honesty, the vertical axis. This is one of the rare cases in which the honest sometimes is of course the stupid one. Elvive here used the trick of "suppression of the zero point" . The zero point is omitted from the graph that is. If he were here, the graphics would look like this:


Who would have with this display yet convinced by the manufacturer stating that there are with Aminexil "significantly less hair in the hair-loss phase? Now sees it more clearly: Without Aminexil a 40% drop from the hair, with Aminexil too!

would be interesting in this context to know whether this mikrige distance increases with the duration of the demonstartion or schrupft. Here the Aminexil has been tested only 6 weeks. Most men are likely to want to keep their hair but longer.
