Amsciforum 2012-07-31

Summary:

"history is written by the victors..." "battles of ideology..." "What is at stake here are not lives but egos..." "not as offensive as... denial of genocide [but] disingenuous and distasteful..." "If science were a matter of tallying consenting and dissenting views, the world would still be flat..." "Conducting a meta-analysis on this disparate collection of studies is like taking a Veg-O-Matic to a seven-course dinner..." "To date, there is still only one published randomized controlled trial. [Phil Davis's]..."
