Definitely not a wrong attitude. Some people are very skeptical about the homeopathic medicine; some, on the other hand, are infinitely grateful if it saved their lives. Your mileage may vary. bluegaspode;603460 Wrote: > We all know, that in medicine there are inert pills (placebo), which > make people feel much better within hours (that's why I also don't > trust my ears, nor my brains, nor my tongue, nor anything human). > > I'm just interested in whether we are given placebo pills here (even if > they are for free or took a lot of work to produce) and everyone who > tries to do some research about that (i.e. Flextreme and Phil) I will > listen to very interested. > Not more, not less. > > I refuse to listen only to the patients and I refuse to silence the > researchers. > I want to hear both sides. > > On the other hand I'm fine with people who just take the pills and just > don't care if now the placebo effect starts or if there is really some > medicine taking effect. > In the end what matters is, that the patient feels well again (and is > not scammed with huge amounts of money - which is not the case here). > > So just go on also expressing your experiences with the mod. > That's why we are here. Glad to hear it. To follow your medicinal analogy, the only reason we have medicine in our society is so that it can be applied to cure people who are sick. There is absolutely no other reason why we have medicine. Same is with audio components (such as Logitech Touch) -- the only reason we have them around is to be able to enjoy music. If someone gives me a modified component that is going to make me enjoy music even more, I'll take it (especially if, as in this case, it's free:) I am not looking for explanations -- same as, after having sex with a gorgeous woman, I'm not interested in scientific explanations as to how come that sex felt so good. It just does; it feels good, it feels great, no need to explain or measure anything, just looking forward to another glorious intercourse (and, of course, many, many more to come;) -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
