The Quality Of Argument Is Not Straineth…

Every possible route of falsification is foreclosed. Scientists have COI (despite huge incentives for challenging conventional wisdom), evidence is all a false flag operation, mathematical and statistical analyses of probability are dismissed out of hand.

But plops like mud. No, not Jallepalli; the responses.

The lane is the same one as in clinical trials. Getting supportive data is hard. There are many roadblocks, including those of human origin. Yet we can't make conclusions about what works and what doesn't any other way. Nor does the public want us to lower our standards.

"I’ve raised an ignorant question that I think makes me sound clever, so I’ve run rings ‘round you logically!”*

*(simplest response being correlation, if it is even established, does not establish causation. Which is an idea basic to the scientific method Jallepalli is talking about. Rule of Twitter: three responses in and it always goes to shit.)
