Often
Often is a treacherous word.
When summarizing science, it could represent significance, commonality, causation, or even correlation.
What it really indicates is a statistical sample which exceeds the threshold of chance.
For example, if something occurs 30% of the time, it can be considered above that threshold.
While that may hold immense scientific value, it is also an incomplete data set.
There is still 70% of the data that indicates something different.
Be responsible with your science and your data.
Absolute truths and reality mix poorly.
Share your breakthroughs, but take care not to gloss over the statistical contexts.
Responsible leaders are skeptical about overly convincing data.
They ask questions not to poke holes in an argument, but to better understand the necessary contextual data.
