They gotta justify their income, status, and power somehow. If ya got nothing, then blag it!

IIRC, the reason for that is the speed of evaporation at different concentrations. Higher concentrations evaporate faster, which reduces contact time with the organism. Diluting to 65-70% slows down evaporation, which increases contact time with the organism. More contact time (at lethal...

Oh boy, here we go again. Anybody who isn't a patient nor their representative. :grumpy:

I have a 1 litre bottle of denatured 95% ethanol from the hardware store, diluted to approx. 62% (i.e. 2 parts ethanol to 1 part water), that I use for a quick wipe on small scratches, cuts, rashes, sterilising needles to dig out a splinter, etc. Very cheap and effective disinfectant.

Either they did not know what they were doing with the stats manipulations. Which is incompetence. Or they did know. Which is worse. White has form on conveniently forgetting his previous work that doesn't support his claims.

Given it happened over a 30 year period, I think it is safe to say that it didn't happen by accident. :grumpy:

Good. Fine by me.

I vote we start this expanded research project with the correlation calculations on the full PACE data set. The data has already been gathered, and those calcs will very likely reveal some good answers, one way or another, and thus help guide future research, which I am sure all parties can...

The trial minutes are an invaluable resource. :thumbup: And the smart. Timing matters too.

Even funnier, even heavily stacked, PACE still didn't produce a good result for them.

I recommend reading EG's work from that period (mostly from 1997-2010), archived on Axford's Abode. It is good, and she was almost the only person doing anything at that level at the time. Also, it is Goudsmit. No 'l'.

Damn right. The lesson out of all this is that we can't blindly trust the experts and the system to deliver. They have to be watched like hawks, and promptly called out when necessary.

Might be worth asking him again, to keep the point fresh in the Tweet line. Especially about dropping actometers for outcomes, when they already had full baseline data.

Boom, tish!

Yes. Immediately.

Gutless scum. Hope the rest of medicine is starting to understand the cesspit that these arse clowns are dragging them into. Ah, okay. :thumbup:

Much as I find Gervais unfunny, and a man who frequently hides behind the standard gutless bully's 'it's just a joke' excuse to evade responsibility for his own words, it isn't Gervais who should apologising. Brine is just deflecting outrage onto Gervais and away from him and his government...

What a monumental prick. :mad: Any reason you can't publicly name him?

Mixed bag. But without an objective record you cannot prove the assessors were shonky, intimidating, etc. I would love to have that sort of record for one or two of the assessments I had to go through to get the disability pension. At least one of the assessors would be facing disciplinary...
