"If it was a drug that made you taller, and you were a male human in America, it would add 1.2 inches to your height. The standard deviation is 3 inches, and the average height is 5’9”. To quote Skee-Lo: If you wished you were a little bit taller, lithium-effect size improvement would do it. If you wished you were a baller, this would not be a reasonable outcome to expect. For symptoms, it’s not a six-four Impala."
That's... that's potentially the greatest explanation of anything I've ever heard.
This was a relatively late addition to the piece, so I'm really happy that it works for you! How to illustrate effect size is a nontrivial problem. I appreciate your crowd validation of my approach ;)
