So...Indeed, Gordon, this stuff is sooooo dangerous.<br />So many things which have survived well designed and controlled testing are discarded in favour of popular and cool but completely ineffective shit.<br />This great danger, oft promoted with the 'antiquity fallacy' and the many forms of 'confirmation bias' are distinctly dangerous. <br />This is one of the direct factors, undeniable by even the biggest 'woo-mongers', which creates the danger, the avoidance of tried and tested remedies to follow an interesting-sounding and incredibly cool solution, which is actually just a massive pile of dishonest shit.Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756590870917752187noreply@blogger.com
