>the fact that these methods have improved dramatically. That article shows that bubbles are not exclusive to markets, they happen in academia, even in areas where empirical data should be easier to collect than in psychology and social science. This test is backed up by correlations to other diagnoses made during a bubble. "Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher." It's a feedback loop, and science might move along faster if there was increased skepticism during bubbles. Bubbles have a higher ratio of waste, 90% of the science might be waste, and 10% will stand the test of time. That 10% may have helped you, but the 90%, the sharp increase in prescription will ruin many lives.
