"Independent" will be defined as in this related question: https://manifold.markets/AlvarodeMenard/will-an-independent-rct-study-evalu
Essentially, this question is supposed to be exactly like that question, except
- My threshold is 0.3 instead of 0.5, mirroring Scott's prediction in the post.
- This question is *conditional* on a qualifying study being run - if no such study is run by the close date, the question will resolve N/A.
If multiple independent studies are run, I will resolve this question in whatever way Scott resolves his prediction (if he declares himself right, I will resolve YES, otherwise NO).
