Every post here is fully of pop pseudo-science, double-digit sample sizes, correlation/causation fallacies, fact-destroying science news cycles, double-digit sample sizes, confirmation biases, conflicts of interests, fucking double-digit sample sizes, and every other fallacy, bias, and problem you could think of. Where's the real science with actual provable conclusions, perfectly peer-reviewed, and has an appropriately large sample size?!

Sounds like something to take up with the mods of the community, and should they disagree, a new community made.

I completely agree with you, it gets old seeing pop science. Should really be a rule that bans these types of posts.

Well that is a great example

The. BBC headline: CURED! CURED, I TELL YA!

Meanwhile in the article: its progression hasbeen slowed by 75%

Yeah, that is awesome still, but that is not cured. This sort of clickbait headlines are a prime example of the problem in /science and in science in general.

Everything needs to be a success, a revolution, something Mike dropping. Nobody wants gradual improvement anymore
