It certainly confirms one's intuition, but the degree of correlation is pretty surprising to me, assuming this is real data.

He cites the sources in the comic, and he's an engineer by training, so I'm inclined to believe that he knows how to do the calculation. :-)

Looks like legitimate data.

Even if real, doesn't necessarily mean they aren't confounded by another factor.
