"I generally find criticism of alt med ideas too simple & not worth my time."
That's nice. Arrogant much?
Leave it to us plebian skeptics to deal with this sort of nonsense. Don't bother to sully yourself. No, really. Don't bother your pretty little head. We've got this.

He says that likely because 1. He doesn’t grasp the complex nature of the problem or 2. He doesn’t have the knowledge base to discuss these ideas or 3. He is intellectually lazy and ignorant of the fact that skills needed for criticism of alt med apply globally in medicine.

The reason I got sarcastic with Vinay is because of his clear disdain for countering alternative medicine. He clearly falls into the category of docs who think it beneath him.

Sarcasm is my first language. Honestly he can keep his smug disdain to himself while the rest of us try to right this sinking ship.

Indeed. In retrospect I only feel bad about one thing. In my sarcasm I lapsed into rather sexist language. If I had it to do over, I'd have substituted some other snark for "don't worry your pretty little head."
