But trying to recalculate the statistics because you don't agree with the results and then literally saying they're wrong because you didn't come to the same conclusions--that's ridiculous.

I still disagree with you on this point. I think that it's perfectly valid for someone with the appropriate level of training to attempt to verify the statistical analysis for himself.
**You're right I should qualify this. I do agree that's a perfectly valid approach--and should be done. I was trying to say that because I'm not sure of the source's skill in replicating an analysis, that it's not appropriate for him to come to the conclusion that the researchers printed incorrect information. PERHAPS, he was the one that made the errors. And perhaps he wasn't--but I'm not going to concede my point just because he said he did it right. We're talking about a researcher (Volek) who has published 95 peer-reviewed studies--so I'll put my confidence in him first.
