Comment on Don't Be Ugly By Accident

While I usually enjoy articles from okcupid, I found this one pretty disappointing, especially given I've seen good statistical analysis from them in the past.

This is just a series of classic correlation versus causation mistakes. Even beyond the purely statistical view of the issues here, it is clear to anyone with some basic knowledge of photography that most of their conclusions are flawed.

Hopefully they'll correct some of the wording to remove logical implication or just do a better job next time.
