Sadly, that is just a statistical analysis.

I realize. But pharma companies are obligated to justify via 'real world evidence' that the drugs work as marketed, even after regulatory approval. This is supposed to help solve the problem. Biopharma needs more advanced statistical methods because human beings are, you know, messy.

It does demonstrate that some people are aware of the epistemological problem.
