This. No.

Doesn't matter if they found something or not. What matters is if they got the correct answer. A robust negative result is just as valuable and valid as a robust positive result. We do not want to waste time and resources pursuing false leads.

Their goal was to “take critical voices seriously and eliminate misunderstandings about CBT.” Yeah, that is the problem, our misunderstandings. It is all our fault. I do not believe for a second these people are that stupid or ignorant. They do not have that excuse. They know what they are doing.

Do any other conditions have this onerous drivel shoved down their throats? Or are we special?

It is a very interesting comment. :nerd: I think so. Though could also be just an incidental effect of the disease process.

Having direct active links in citations, or even just a doi, can save considerable time & effort. Being able to find something with a bit of hunting is okay for one or two things. But that extra time and work adds up fast when checking a whole lot in one sitting. I definitely get this. One of...

No way I could do a 40km bike ride, or any comparable physical activity, without very serious payback, and the real risk of a permanent worsening of my health status.

Grossly defamatory, even. Increasingly my view that Garner is likely to be a self-limiting problem. He is trashing his reputation far faster and more comprehensively that his critics could ever do. He has become an evangelical fanatic, which rarely ends well.

Samples were taken at rest, peak exercise intensity, and 15 and 60 minutes post-exercise. Would like to have seen a 3rd set of samples taken 24 hours after the 2nd CPET test (without doing a 3rd test). Otherwise it looks interesting.

Recovery Norway is full of people who have recovered from mind-body retraining packages and cognitive approaches. There are recovery stories everywhere So why are they not showing up in treatment studies, including those done by your fellow travellers (the studies they could be bothered to make...

I don't think that is a fair characterisation of the views on cannabis.

Thank you (and to your co-authors) for taking this issue seriously. It isn't just us being hyper-sensitive snowflakes. Unfortunately, as we have learned the hard way, the language and politics of it all matter very much and have to be taken into account. We have all seen and experienced many...

And worse than that.

Thanks.
