I thought it was very restrained of you.
Just wittering on a little more about the article.
As the intro strives to convey, its target readership is those who do not have ME, and maybe have nothing seriously wrong with them. The don't do google searches on ME/CFS like we do, they probably have never heard of it, though they may well know someone they assume is just lazy. You have to do something to make people stop and realise that such an article is relevant to them. It's the same rationale as shop window displays in a busy high street; businesses don't invest all that space and money so they can go out and look at it themselves, they do it to catch people's attention who might otherwise pass by. Of course many people do go straight by, but of the people who do go into the shop, there will be those who would not have done without the window.
I know you fully understand this, but dropped into soap box mode.
