I have tweaked it to "at least 40%" -- when you publish your reply in JAMA Int Med, I will link to it in a footnote!

Excellent, yes, thank you that's right. I think I saw this exact 60% computation worked out on twitter also (although I can't find it now). I will think about whether a tweak is appropriate for my blog post (maybe "more than 40%"?) but I don't like to make too many changes unless what I've...

That is quite hilarious but also makes me sad. These are supposedly professors of psychology but they clearly have no idea what "evidence" is or what "evidence-based" means. They *nearly* get it when they say that being so "thoroughly convinced" by the "evidence" can lead to poor decisions, but...

Many thanks for that @Trish

I just blogged about the stakeholder submissions here, specifically focused on the Royal College defending the Lightning Process: https://thesciencebit.net/2021/10/31/self-styled-medical-leaders-defend-neurolinguistic-processing-as-legit-treatment-for-me-cfs/

Tried to do a paragraph-by-paragraph hot take on the joint statement here.

Just tried to encapsulate my feelings on the RCP et al. joint statement here:

Absolutely stunned that the RCP should stand up for "osteopathy, life coaching or neurolinguistic processing"...

Unbelievable. But then kind of believable too. Might blog about this... have been working on LP stuff for a while

This is all good messaging, and an excellent platform -- Trinity College is a very prestigious institution in Ireland

Hi @Robert 1973 -- and all -- and thank you to another user who contacted me by email to alert me to this. I have made a slight edit to my blog post and added a footnote to explain. I dated the footnote so that there is complete transparency. If anything, my critique is actually strengthened...

Glad to be of service! :nerd:

Hi @obeat. The feedback on my lecture in Wexford was very positive, actually. I was struck by how many psychologists came to tell me they appreciated my approach and were glad I was raising these issues. Overall it was a positive experience for me, and very encouraging. I do think psychologists...

Thank you both. Yes, I appreciate that covering these would be very valuable. I can't promise anything quickly but I do hope to get to them in due course, if I can.

Thank you so much for all this work! It is truly impressive endeavour, completed so quickly too. :emoji_cold_sweat: As always, it is humbling to see my words resonating like this. I really appreciate the effort you went to to produce such a precise transcript. Thank you again :emoji_dizzy:

Absolutely fine with me, @JemPD. I'm glad you find it helpful... :emoji_thumbsup:

I think this results from what is referred to as "machine intelligence". Not sure if it can easily be changed, but I'll alert the publisher...

Many thanks, @Daisybell.
