    Yeah? That’s not what I’d read earlier today. What I’d read earlier today is that it amounts to an average of 3.60 minutes a week less than non-users. I have a hard time imagining that as a strong correlation. I’m not sure how that’d be seriously considered a correlation at all. 3.60 minutes over the course of an entire week is basically nothing.

      3.6 minutes in the context of a 40 hour work week is a 0.15% increase in work. No sane person would consider that clinically significant. If they’re claiming there’s a significant difference of 0.15% between the groups, they’re making shit up.

        3 minutes + 60% of 60 seconds, or rather 3 minutes and 36 seconds, makes 3.60 minutes.

        3.6 minutes, not 3 minutes 60 seconds.

      It can be strongly correlated, meaning there’s a definite relationship between them, while still being not significant like 3.6 min over a week. Most things that you hear cause cancer are only ~ .1 % extra probability over a lifetime but still highly correlated.
