Too bad the sample size of his "study" was 23 patients. And the 23 were described as having "Mahjong-induced seizures" (instead of seizures in people who happened to play Mahjong).

What a worthless study. Even in Hong Kong one would think they'd have to at least have a basic understanding of what "good science" entails.
