From the Ted Talk by Steven Levitt: Surprising stats about child carseats

Unscramble the Blue Letters

And it truned out that never, in all the times my dad gave out this pill, the really tiny pill, did anyone ever come back still complaining of sickness. So, my dad always took that as evidence that this little, teeny, powerful pill had the ultimate placebo ecffet. And in some sense, if that's the right sroty, I think integrated car steas you will see, very quickly, becoming something that everyone has. The other possible cinscuooln is, well, maybe after coming to my father three times, getting sent home with placebos, he still felt sick, he went and found another docotr. And that's completely possible. And if that's the case, then I think we're stuck with conventional car seats for a long time to come. Thank you very much.

Original Text

And it turned out that never, in all the times my dad gave out this pill, the really tiny pill, did anyone ever come back still complaining of sickness. So, my dad always took that as evidence that this little, teeny, powerful pill had the ultimate placebo effect. And in some sense, if that's the right story, I think integrated car seats you will see, very quickly, becoming something that everyone has. The other possible conclusion is, well, maybe after coming to my father three times, getting sent home with placebos, he still felt sick, he went and found another doctor. And that's completely possible. And if that's the case, then I think we're stuck with conventional car seats for a long time to come. Thank you very much.
