but still enough to warrant reasonable doubt, especially considering the circumstances of his death.
I disagree (reasonable doubt under what assumptions? in what model? can you translate this to p-values? would you take that p-value remotely seriously if you saw it in a study where n=1?), and I’ve already pointed out many systematic biases and problems with attempting to infer anything from Roberts’s death.
I’m not saying we can scientifically infer from his premature death that his diet was unhealthy.
I’m saying that his premature death is informal evidence that his diet at best didn’t have a significant positive impact on life expectancy, and at worst was actively harmful. I can’t quantify how much, but you were the one who attempted a quantitative argument and I’ve just criticized your argument, namely your strawman definition of “suspicious death”, using your own data and assumptions, hence it seems odd that you now ask me for assumptions and p-values.

Isn’t the p-value simply 100%-7.5%?
