I have updated the post with a link to Lucibee's analysis. Thanks!
well, I kind of disagree with myself as well. I just didn't want to spend time repeating the same things I've written 500 times. I assumed...
Actually, I see the point. But they probably would be nervous about the prospect I'd tear up more papers from distinguished BPS people! And it...
Ha! Well I won't be holding my breath for that invitation!
At this point I'm hoping to go, yeah.
I think you misunderstand my last point. If you don't look at the objective results but you extend the feasibility trial based solely on...
Chris Ponting has made it clear to me that, unlike in previous years, I am welcome to attend. My presence last year obviously was not encouraged...

I don't know much about parliamentary decorum, but it seems to me that when you have conducted yourself in such an inappropriate manner that...
I don't think this is exactly right. They're claiming that even if they could get a statistician, which they obviously could, they shouldn't be...
That's an interesting question that we hadn't really thought about. For credibility the letter was written for "experts" and "professionals"...
I should say that I'm pretty sure I've used the phrase "false illness beliefs" at some point but NOT as a direct quote from the PACE authors. I...
