That's a ridiculous response. Arguing that it's a non-perfect basis assumes that there is some perfection to be had. As I've said, this is often not the case, so your suggestion is to stop caring about evidence at all in cases where we cannot generate perfection

Gid, please. Soften the emotive. It’s not ridiculous. also note not disagreeing is not by default agreeing. WRT “I agree with not smoking” - I’ve not said I do, but nor have I said I don’t. I asked we don’t compare to other policy on the basis one is essential one is not

Whether something is essential is a judgement call that can be used to inform policy Whether something is likely true is an evidential assessment addressed by the grading These are two separate issues that you are conflating

This is, again, tangential to the point you've raised Ultimately, you're trying to boil down complex epidemiological assessments into a single question (is it Grade C?). This is a poor methodological approach, and leads to issues like not being able to critique smoking

You made several very specific statements about Grade C evidence and not accepting it. If you've decided it's fine, sure let's move on

I’m asking you to rethink your article. If you’ve just written the article you have based on what the NHMRC says, and not your own critique ....please rethink
