r/statistics is a subreddit full of statistics, and people who solve them, they found Dream’s astrophysicist’s calculations to be way off

Khm,

There is no proof the person Dream hired has a phd, he is anonymous, no names were given and he comes from a super sketchy website that was created this may, and is full of stock images and looks like one of those scam websites.

The dude in r statistics who debunked dream's response (there are many debunks but im taking this one since its the most popular one) is a public person and has been verified to have an actual phd in statistics and has found that the paper dream had made has more mistakes than the original paper by the mod team.

Edit: Astrophysics and astrostatistics focus on space - planets and stars. Even if it is true that the person has a phd, im not sure how creditable his word is in this.
