Got a love the alt-med concern trolling in the comments. “Caring about patients means recommending that they spend their money on dubiously-useful ‘therapies’!”

The accupuncturists have no excuse for omitting robust controls: - good sham accupuncture has been developed. - Non-accupucturists can be trained to apply sham and real needles. - safe alternative non-doctrinal sham and real needling sites can be used.

So: an RCT of a mechanistically implausible thing gives a 'positive' result. Do you a) revise all you know about biology or b) think it is an inherent risk of inferential statistics that some 'positives' will occur. Discuss.
