I agree 100% that osteopathy does not belong to rigorous science & an osteopath does not substitute for an MD. But psychological BS a la @sapinker or @PTetlock are even more unrigorous! https://t.co/RGAoNhZR9i — PolitiTweet.org

BEWARE % changes; they are uninformative. Something that goes from 0 to \epsilon has an infinite growth. In MEDICINE, people shd NOT look at relative increase in mortality (3x) when hazard is v. low (say "doubling" from 1 in 500K to 2 in 500K), rather absolute changes (1/500K). — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed I made a mistake differencing between MDs and DO, and I apologize. Anyway, the point is that no matter how unrigorous these can be, the BS by these psychologists is vaaaaaaaaaastly worse. — PolitiTweet.org
