If science ran this way without Occam's razor, I could get away with arguing that jellyfish are responsible for the creation of the moon. It is possible that I misinterpreted his implication. Anyway, if he had understood the post, he would have seen that there is very weak support for rejecting H_0: \beta = 0, as I show in the first regression. You have to accept a pretty p-value near 0.1, but in this very simple GLM setup the estimate - s.e. is positive.
