Weren't they following up an earlier result that looked like it might have been something? Sounds sensible to me. What research do you think...
I just read the first one, and there were some good and interesting bits in there, but I thought there were also some counter-productive sections....
I find these 'the way that science works is...' arguments interesting. Who gets to decide how 'science' works? Is anyone allowed to suggest the...
Originally: "Tuller has also posted a 15,000 word review of it via the website of a Berkeley colleague." At the current Reuters link: "Tuller has...
Chalder uses the same slide (missing the twelve month data) in this 2016 talk [slide 14]:...
A series of articles?! There seems to be so much stuff to read today.
Thanks to @Sly Saint for that transcript. I've got some notes, but they are very far from comprehensive. Hmmm.... That's Isaac Marks, the...

Twitter needs to add an easy one click button for 'please delete your tweet'.
The idea of using this metric seemed really bizarre to me. Who cares how many poorly designed trials of ineffective treatments there are? Thanks...
Good to hear a lot of that @Jonathan Edwards I get the impression a lot of academics are appalled by the idea that their colleagues might be...
I think that this is a much better tactic for them and much more difficult for us to respond to. Previously they were over-hyping things and it...
edit: I don't know how much this post is the manifestation of a bad mood. Could that play into a narrative of dangerous interference in science?...
I think that we must be interpreting things differently. I saw this comment "Why would people who are sick attack medical researchers...
I'd avoid saying that now that we've seen what that twitter user has been sending (Quasar9uk). They were sending clear examples of abuse. It only...
