      Sure there's a lot of unsubstantiated stuff in this. BS and worse, i.e. harmful. Yet I find it interesting: How ancient remedies are yielding cutting-edge cures, @NatGeoMag - https://on.natgeo.com/2zWdFki  ht @gorskon

      Except that ancient remedies aren't yielding cutting edge cures. @NatGeo is just plain full of crap and publishing TCM propaganda, not science.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/01/07/traditional-chinese-medicine-is-science/ …

      Again, some modern medical Rx is unsupported (see: Twitter of Dr. Vinay Prasad) and some-but-not-all ancient Rx, which may or may not work, is not understood.

      Crass or not, it's not inaccurate. Instead of rebutting my argument about TCM's lack of evidence, she countered, "What about conventional medicine's lack of evidence?" That's the very DEFINITION of whataboutism. I hadn't planned on saying any more, but you tweaked me.

      Generally, the only non-bot follows I block on Twitter are those by the woo crowd—precisely out of concern they’ll read such tweets uncritically, and take them as encouragement. You may have more in common with them than you want to think, David, in light of your own misreading!

      Here’s a bit of background on #whataboutism, FYI, which might help you employ the term precisely and judiciously. A crucial concept which we ought not dilute by careless misuse! (Glad to engage and/or demolish you whenever, outside of Elaine’s mentions ;) https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Whataboutism …

      I have been aware of the history of the term for decades, as most skeptics are. My use of it was entirely consistent with its definition: pointing out a problem with one's opponent's position in order to avoid engaging his criticism of yours.
