Einstein's brain is a sample size of one.
Can't we stop right there?
One important point however, that I don't think was mentioned,
what about the measurement system?
Measuring the "size" of a part of a human brain would seem to
me a very difficult thing to do. I wonder if they did an R&R study
on their measurement system. If three operators where given 10
brains in random order three times, I wonder what would happen?
What if you had no way of knowing if you were measuring
Einstein's brain or a patent clerk who failed in high school?
I have seen what I thought were simple measurement systems fail
R&R studies.
