      Agree 100%. So many 'debunkers' making a career out of it, when it only serves to spread the original fantastical claims.

      Do you have any evidence of that, or are you just salty from being dunked on by skeptical thinkers?https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/05/30/an-unholy-combination-of-methodolatry-and-quackery-apologia-with-jade-eggs/ …

      You are wrong about @gorskon, he is one of the most careful and thoughtful skeptics who, similar to you, spends a great deal of time documenting and explaining why things are wrong. It is incorrect to suggest he is superficial - he is the resource for deeply researched debunks.

      In fact the first step when one encounters bullshit is to ask has David written about it yet, because while he has an unfortunate tendency to throat clear for 1000 words or so, the subsequent deep dive will be a reliable resource.

      My guess is that Vinay had never actually seriously tried to counter some common claims of alternative medicine or antivaxers and thinks they can be dismissed airily with a haughty "therr is no evidence."

          Here's the thing. Often there is evidence, a lot of it. It's bad evidence that doesn't show what's claimed, but that's not always obvious without a deep dive into the methods and analysis. A good example is the 2012 Vickers acupuncture meta-analysis.

          As was said in multiple places, autocorrect is too often one’s worst enema.

          Ah yes, we all remember that day. When we confronted disinformation by asking for evidence and all the quackery dried up instantly. It was the alt-med singularity, and now all liars are quiet and evidence rules the world.
