I'm impressed by how low the score of your comment is. I know computer scientists aren't "real" scientists but I thought the lack of rigor in this one was apparent and it was only upvoted only as a conversation starter. I guess I was wrong.

There wasn't a "lack of rigor"

He just never finished. He collected data and then didn't follow up with graphs and conclusions and such.

There's nothing wrong with a blog post that tells you about 2/3 of a N=1 study on yourself, it's interesting. It doesn't owe you completion, it just is not complete.

There is a distinct lack of rigor, and there's a lot wrong with a blog post that doesn't accurately describe the environment the experiment is taking place in or any other pertinent details that would allow for a reproduction.

Completion is actually the least of the problems here.

it's also funny how people assume blog posters owe them anything. get off their lawn!
