------------ Santosh Helekar I must say that I am shocked and thoroughly disappointed. I am sorry to say this but it is so sub-standard that even a flunking high school student would have done a better job.
And even more blah .... blah ... blah. ----------- GL responds: Any person with or without scientific background can read for themselves my post analyzing the JAMA paper. My post was quoting the relevant parts of the data from the JAMA paper; that the PAPER ITSELF had analyzed and presented. Santosh's blah .. blah of the JAMA paper and his comments of my review (of the same paper) does not quote a single factoid of the analyzed data. So in claiming that I am unable to do scientific blah ... blah ... blah, Santosh is really smearing the authors of the JAMA paper (for those who need spoon- feeding). The JAMA paper corroborates what Dr. Hyman wrote. Or, Dr. Hyman's article corroborated what the JAMA paper reported. That is again spoon-feeding to those who needed it. Please read Santosh's past bogus comments that Dr. Hyman was misrepresenting the JAMA paper. From my reading and presentation, there was nothing in the JAMA paper which contradicted the conclusions of Hyman's article. Thus Santosh's claim (when HE recommended we read the JAMA paper), is totally baseless that any reader, "should be able to recognize quite well that Hyman has misrepresented many methodological and technical aspects of the JAMA paper in his article. In fact, he has resorted to more spin than the targets of the paper." With sadness in my heart, I have to reiterate that Santosh once again reaffirms that he does not read, understand and digest what is written. With technical words, Santosh is faking his expertise in analyzing clinical papers. No longer is Dr. Hyman's paper the topic of discussion. Santosh has changed the focus of arguments and discussion (if one can dignify his writings) to EVERYTHING BUT the original paper on "medical 'Science for Sale'" - once again spoon-feeding is necessary on the topic of the thread. He continues to do what he does best - smear, distortions and bogus comments. Santosh, keep up your reputation as Goa's 'premier' Master at smear, distortion and bogus comments. You know how Dilbert says we should deal with such writings. Regards, GL
