Hi Fred, I noted your post with a smile. Most Goanetters do not think their supurlo Goenkar is a scientist. Twenty five years ago, I had all the relevant papers and their authors' names on my finger tips. But I have also since seen their data and conclusions come and go. So now I read the paper and review their data with a pinch of salt. Authors that hype their findings / conclusions suggest that the data per se is not impressive. The sad part, the hype dissuades authors and others researchers from looking at other explanations, avenues for experimentation or treatment, newer drugs etc. A decade later, we come to the conclusion that, perhaps what was originally thought as an "upheaval" was not the breakthrough that was touted or that we were hoping. Those truly interested in science can look up my short paper published in a peer-reviewed journal entitled "Evidence-based Medicine or Fuzzy Math". Budding scientists on Goanet should not over-look the false-positive and false-negative in subjective as well as objective findings in research. Another short paper of mine is under consideration, which recommends lowering the p-value for statistical significance. Kind Regards, GL
