      Not problematic or annoying. Provocative, in a good way. Like science is supposed to be.

      I read this piece when you wrote it. I also think Vinay made some good points. It was a good debate from two very smart people with very strong opinions.

      Except that the eminent Dr. Prasad doesn't really debate. He just attacks and then doesn't engage. Still, here's another critique of his attack on medical skepticism from someone who's been at it at least a decade longer than I have.https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/skeptical-of-skepticism-regarding-medical-skepticism/ …

      And I'll just leave with this one for now, because he doesn't seem to recognize how profound the problem of science denial and conspiracy theories are is.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/all-science-denial-is-a-form-of-conspiracy-theory/ …

      Your “oeuvre” re science based medicine is really compelling. Vinay’s “oeuvre” is too. No need to convince or prove that one argument negates the other. Non-resolution of debate is frustrating but perhaps inevitable. A feature not a bug of Twitter. ✌️

      But that’s my point! I don’t try to negate Vinay’s oeuvre or otherwise try to denigrate it. (Read @stevennovella and my posts again if you don’t believe me.) I never have. The same can’t be said of Vinay about MY oeuvre. Whenever he addresses it at all it’s just to shit on it.

      All I ask is for mutual respect and live and let live. I don’t get it. And I won’t stay quiet when he attacks first.
