    They could be ready by 2030.

    Statements like this make me question why I even bother to subscribe to this forum.

    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
