well, this is what keeps happening Elon Musk's rockets, but apparently blowing up is part of the effort at progress. I just think "rubber-stamping" is really too strong a term here. If that's considered "weird," so be it.

i agree. I wouldn't call it rubber-stamping.

This is a good point. More clinics are not needed if they are unhelpful or harmful. It's a bit like that old joke: "The food in that restaurant is terrible." "Yeah, and the portions are so small."

Ha! Well, I guess I won't ask you to sign a letter to BMJ!!! As usual, I will take your points under advisement. I am not immune to being wrong, obviously.

I think it does matter if it's clear that someone's story itself doesn't hold water according to their own timeline. Of course an anecdotal account is meaningless, but an anecdotal account that can't be true is even more meaningless. Whether he is best ignored is a separate question.

I've never quite understood the distinction between inconsistent/incongruent with known neurological disease. Can you clarify?

The fourth reference is an error that needs to be corrected. It says these disorders account for 10% of the total NHS budget. The relevant study, which is itself a problem, said it was 10% of NHS expenditures on working age people. That's about 3% of the total NHS budget. Several papers had to...

The first article on elearning actually cites the new NICE guideline as supporting multidisciplinary care without mentioning that it bars GET and makes clear that CBT is only supportive and not curative. They're conflating PACE-CBT with regular CBT, as they always do. They also posit that...
