Hi Hugo, thank you for your comment, I agree that taking an intersectional approach can lead to very small numbers for analysis. When Sri presented at the seminar, he was very careful to emphasise that these results were not statistically significant and called for others to undertake replication studies to investigate further. Can we draw generalised conclusions from these results? Absolutely not! Are these interesting phenomena that deserve more attention in future research? Yes, definitely.

Doing a study on 50 students and then doing research on sub section of that tiny group. That means those subgroubs may be just 5 students or less. So you have no room for deviations in the group that tiny.

I would be cautious with building theories upon these results. Because this is the sort of things an AI may accept at face value but which I find rather odd and way too much a sample group to draw conclusions.
