Subjective assessment can be more "reliable" if the trial is truly double-blinded. An easy one would be in homeopathy, where the homeopathist...
When it comes to checking facts, there are different levels of veracity. "Everyone knows" is probably at the bottom:" it's on the internet" is...
It looks on the table as though White only sent the information that there were 21 people in the age group 60+ (i.e. 3%), and it looks as if Couch...
