I'm REALLY tired of science fans blaming those who fall for woo for their "stupidity." I have fibromyalgia. I sure as shit would try acupuncture, dry needling or STABBING MYSELF IN THE SHOULDER if I ever stayed in the state of desperation that I've fortunately kept at bay.

Agreed. I always try to make it clear that the practitioners are to blame, never the patients. You can't blame someone for trying a treatment that a person in a position of trust has told them is effective, even if it's totally worthless in reality

Who gets to define "totally worthless"? Who gets to define "effective"? Might be best to re-examine what "reality" is too. Pretty sure it's the same science fans.

In order: - anyone who has enough expertise to read and understand the evidence for/against the treatment - patients - this is a colloquialism, arguing semantics is tedious

Think I'd switch the order of the first two.

They're almost entirely synonymous so sure go ahead
