      The critique that the methods were lousy, self report not reliable, and that it doesn't make sense that one sex would be affected and not the other are all very fair, I was just making a very specific point not a critique of your blog post with which I agree :)

      Exactly. My point is that a physician should know better than to use such a shaky study to attempt to prop up his weak pre-conceived beliefs.

      Mr R, I notice that you consistently, & persistently, resort to ad hominem responses to those with whom you disagree. For your perusal, I’m including a very interesting article 👇https://theethicalskeptic.com/2019/11/10/how-to-argue-like-a-child/amp/__twitter_impression=true … Perhaps you, and some of your SBM colleagues, could discuss? #introspection

      Please point out my ad hominems. I want to discuss the issue with Jay on the science, not the emotional scare tactics he is employing. I never have, nor will I ever call him a name or belittle his character. I'm sure he's doing what he believes is right, but I disagree... 1/2

      You stray off topic/resort to comments in a subtle attempt to undermine the man-Eg “Jay, did you read the position paper pointing out the flaws in the study?” “...his weak pre-conceived beliefs.” “..with his approach and his misuse of the scientific literature in this instance.”

      1. Honest question, not an ad hominem. 2. He admitted to having pre-conceived beliefs. Not an ad hominem. 3. I do believe he misrepresented the literature. Still no ad hominem.

      Thank you for your response. However, for a clearer understanding of the terminology, and some excellent resources for the skeptic, might I refer you to the following? 👉 http://TheEthicalSkeptic.com  Enjoy the rest of your day.

      “The Ethical Skeptic”?😂😂😂 I’ve perused that blog before. Rarely have I come across a blogger so unjustifiably full of himself. He’s even more long winded than I am, with much less to say other than to attack straw man versions of skepticism and skeptics.

      “Do I believe in Homeopathy, Bigfoot, UFO’s and ghosts; the ridiculous litmus tests of the Social Skepticism movement? No. I do not hold beliefs around these topics, in contrast to those who partake of fake skepticism.” WTF? https://theethicalskeptic.com/charter/

      He’s provaccine and pro-GMO: “But this does not mean that I am therefore now bound to gullibly accept 80 vaccines and every single gene splice desired by corporations, especially if the goal of the risk-bearing technology is simply cosmetics, monopoly or extractive earnings.”

      That’s a straw man so huge that, were it to be set on fire, it would be visible from the International Space Station. 🙄

          On skeptics: “They bully the public through media ridicule, character defamation, intimidation, social pressure and gleefully enacted ill behavior to such an extent that scientists and media will only speak against the movement in private.” Sure, dude. Whatever.🙄

          I mean, a week or two ago didn’t we have a very prominent young oncologist complaining about how useless the skeptical movement is? He even did a while podcast about it, as I recall.
