Only if you assume incompetence or malice on the part of Optimizely, neither of which you have any valid reason to do. It's perfectly reasonable to assume they aren't stupid and the results are valid.

Um, my claim is don't assume they're idiots; that doesn't require me to back anything up.
The poster I replied to wasn't attacking them, he was attacking statistic in general, which is what I was replying to.
Your response was to imply that Optimizely doesn't know what they're doing and therefore their results are invalid until you see how they're crunching the data; that's simply absurd.
