this is a statistical blog post written by someone who has no idea how to do statistics. and even when told how to do it properly by a commenter, fails to accept the simple and overwhelming conclusion. why is this on the front page?

Perhaps because the data is interesting and we can draw the contrary conclusion: that there is no reason to suppose the data has been tampered with or fabricated?
