I just want to clarify that I did not find this ResearchGate article by googling for dexamethasone. I hadn't heard of that until now! I found a link to this article on the front page of a certain news site, and thought the fine people of HN would enjoy it.

Well then, my post should be a great illustrator of both the birthday paradox and both its application to the original article about the poor lady with the brain tumor, and an alternative explanation for this unusual event.

Thank you very kindly for the corrective post!

You might still be correct. How did it get to the front page of the other news site?
