These cases are so rare and the description so limited that I am not sure they tell us much. The only mechanism I can think of is bone or...
That assumes rational thinking. That may be a precarious assumption. Not expecting something to work is not the same as not being motivated to...
Interesting to see the book review. The book is clearly true crap. Bad philosophy and bad science. They don't even understand causation. Even...
Yes, that was my 'in reality more complicated' bit. I keep being reminded how insightful Keith Geraghty's comments on trial design were. It is...

The angles are objectively defined but nobody actually knows what they mean. Henderson seems to be the chief publisher in the field of...
For me the problem is that we do not have any studies to have more of. So far I have not seen even an informal public comment from anyone...
We had quite a long discussion about this at the other place about five years ago. I don't remember the details. The ACR system is a rather...
