There seem to be ad-homs and overly-generalised statements on both sides. I felt that some people were over-hyping the importance of the hoax, and some people were being overly dismissive of it and its perpetrators. I don't feel supportive of either side, both of whom seem to downplay how...
Thanks Andy.
These are minor points: I guess that you can't really withdraw an unpublished review, so it was just the protocol that was withdrawn, indicating that the planned review will now not be published. Also, the statement says that it was not the authors who withdrew it but: "The...
I'm not sure what thread is most appropriate for this, but there's a new piece from Ioannidis on this: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/eci.13058
I think I agree with this point:
I'm worried that Cochrane is currently in a weakened position that makes it more difficult to...

For the 2017 one (which was really published in 2014, but it gets a new publication date when feed back is incorporated) it says this:
"We would like to thank Peter White and...

And then the final page:
"You determine what happens this Christmas.
There is personal choice in deciding how you will manage Christmas."
Okay - I'll recover then. Awesome.

There was loads of spin and hype from UK universities looking to take creadit for how much they've helped CFS patients in REF2014... looks like 2021 is going to be terrible too: https://www.s4me.info/threads/matthew-hotopf-on-panel-deciding-criteria-for-assessing-research-in-ref2021.3170/
Looks like this was taken from research on how to define recovery (and there are good reasons for concern about Crawley having influence over research on this)...
Some people find night-time viewing to be easier on their eyes: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4027563/windows-10-set-your-display-for-night-time
