| | Hebrew translation:ממצא-שווא סטטיסטי | Explanation:
או תוצר-שווא סטטיסטי.
The Academy suggests this lovely word.
Btw, what's the point of suggesting ארטיפקט in Hebrew where most readers won't have a clue as to what it is?
Just because you found in Google 4 lazy writers who used it because they couldn't be bothered to understand what it really means doesn't mean a serious translator should do the same. |

| Grading comment Thank you all!
My client here is a Psychologist himself, so he better know "artifact".
Anyway, I chose to write ארטיפקט and added ממצא שווא in parenthesis.
