Actually this may not be true. The use of willow bark for fever was not based on any theory about prostaglandin synthase inhibition. Similarly for...
We all do it. This is why this forum is so useful. We bang ideas about enough to shake out all the dust of cross-purpose misconception in the end.
I am confused now. In these terms Godwin is right. An experiment that is unable to falsify a hypothesis is of not value as a test of that...
I have run that clip a few times and I think it is reasonable to interpret him as intending to be understood as referring to all the prior peer...
I wonder who actually reviewed the PACE manuscript for the Lancet?
I thought those early trials were 'you're too kind Michael, they were not really even trials, just treating some patients.'
I don't think he can. His whole speciality of liaison psychiatry?psychosomatic medicine is built on theories that do not take on board the fact...

Godwin: 'That seems possible. There's a lot of rubbish research out there, produced primarily by people who aren't actively trying to produce...
Bad tactics by Sharpe I would say. There is a chance that Godwin has not actually read the paper yet. If he does then things can only get much worse.
The 'model' is just 'GET and CBT are useful treatment for ME/CFS'. PACE probably did not involve an adequate risk of showing this is wrong, if it...
Sharpe really does seem to be trying to persuade himself and everyone else that data entail interpretations. If you have a 'positive result' that...
I am pleased to see that Godwin is taking interest. I get what he is saying but it does seem a bit complicated. A simpler critique is that if you...
Not necessarily. The correspondence between people like Descartes, Hobbes, Newton, Leibniz, Arnauld and Locke betweem 1640 and 1690 very often...
You need to work on the sensitive discussion bit @Lucibee. The you will be an expert and can supervise others. They are always so sensitive with...
