John Best's article
The article cited here was written by Joel Best, not John Best.
Full reasoning
The post misidentifies the author of "Lies, Calculations and Constructions: Beyond How to Lie with Statistics". Multiple bibliographic sources list this article as being authored by Joel Best. StatLit’s author page explicitly lists "Lies, Calculations and Constructions: Beyond How to Lie with Statistics by Joel Best" with the same journal, volume, pages, and DOI. Mendeley’s catalog entry for the same DOI (10.1214/088342305000000232) likewise credits the work to Best, J., which matches Joel Best rather than "John Best."
