Quote:The argument that there is a direct correlation between untested dietary supplements and FDA approved drugs is obviously not true. The same can be said for the relationship of a customer to a mechanic correlating directly to the relationship between a patient and his doctor. If it hadn't been detailed earlier (and completely ignored), I might not have been as strident ... nor would Tim.
A correlation in what? Their efficacy? Their sales? Don't use words if you don't know what they mean.
An analogy is not a fact.
Quote:Nothing in the social realm meets the criteria for "proof". The best we can do is identify a correlation that seems consistent. I stated the items that triggered the comments, though I didn't restate the entire argument. Do we have to go there again?
I get it, you're not using facts, you're using "facts". So if somebody disagrees with your "facts", why, that's just the same as if they were claiming that 2+2=5 or that the Earth is flat. But, when called on it, well, they're not REALLY facts...
Don't do that.
