“The psychological view of ME led to the controversial and now debunked PACE trial鈥擯ACE is 鈥淧acing, graded Activity, and Cognitive behaviour therapy; a randomised Evaluation鈥�... As the trial progressed and the results did not meet the authors鈥� expectations, they simply lowered the threshold to define improvement. In some cases, those whose condition had deteriorated were classed as 鈥渞ecovered鈥�. That is simply not good science.”
Carol Monaghan

“Even further, one can use a viral model for many things 鈥� it doesn't make those things a virus. For example, say that one day a prominent scientist decided to coin 鈥渕oonemes鈥� and started the 鈥渕ooneme hypothesis鈥� of cow migration. The hypothesis is all about how cows' migration patterns can be described and modelled as a 鈥渧irus of the plains鈥�, because cows move from place to place, spread, mutate, and eat all of the grass. No matter how well the model fits to cows, they are not - and will never be - obligate parasites. A view that it's a matter of personal perspective is subjectivism and hardly conducive to scientific inquiry of an objective world. It's simply not in the nature of cows any more than it is in the nature of knowledge.”
Idav Kelly, The Leprechaun Delusion

Howard Gardner
