By the way, I haven't verified that this Reddit user is actually an expert, but the article is plausible to me based on my understanding of Bayesian probability and other reading about testing. I guess that's sort of like a pre-screen?

Unfortunately, despite the user having "PhD | Virology | M1" for flair in /r/medicine, the mods there don't actually verify anything (unlike /r/askhistorians and /r/science). And as far as I can tell, the user has never applied for flair in any subreddit that actually does verify claims of accreditation. The closest thing I could find was their application to /r/askscience's panel. But based on that, and their posting history to /r/premed and /r/virology, they do seem rather legit though, IMO.
