The BBC bitch.

@terrasweet You say "citation needed."
-
Didn't Nucky Thompson have Hans Schrauder murdered?
-
@wandotube it sets a very dangerous precedent (doctors could begin administering untested, experimental drugs or treatments to patients on the basis that the patient has no right to know what he's being given) and in any case, the placebo only goes so far: a strong placebo would certainly help in fighting cancer, but it's far, far from enough. many brave people have fought cancer with only their minds alone right to the end, and i think it shames them to imply they just didn't give it their all.
-
also extremely frustrating when people use anecdotes in arguments, because what can you possibly say to an anecdote other than "you're wrong"?
-
completely agree with ben's reaction to this woman's suggestion that homeopathy cured cancer... cancer occasionally goes into spontaneous remission, folks, it's an extremely complex ailment whose mechanisms are not understood, but some people have real trouble comprehending real cause and effect it seems

It is funny how pseudo-scientists argue.

Yeah, the demand for solid scientific study and actual verifiable empirical evidence for claims--especially those that affect one's health--is downright insane and needs to be stopped immediately.
